I want to do a GetFeed on devices by group. Is the best way to do it to run a Get request on Device and search by group, then do a multi call of GetFeed requests on LogRecords searching by the resulting devices from the first request? I also though about just doing a LogRecord feed and filtering after the fact by the list of devices, but felt that would be a lot worse. I guess I'm really just checking to make sure there isn't a way to do a GetFeed on LogRecord searching by multiple devices in a single request. Thanks,Tucker

Best practice for GetFeed for LogRecord on multiple devices?

I'm going to call support too, but thought that posting here might get a quicker response. The Geotab API Reference is "down" right now. You can't scroll past the Authenticate method when you load this page:  https://geotab.github.io/sdk/software/api/reference/

I tried posting this last week but it's stuck in Pending Review, so I've taken a screenshot to post it again. I suspect the post got flagged for review because I mention the authenticate() method and it probably needs to be reviewed to make sure I didn't accidentally expose credentials. It's been in review for a week though so I'm going ahead and trying a repost to see if this works.  Hopefully this works. Thanks,Tucker

Issue Authenticating with Session in Python (attempt 2)

We have a button add-in that isn't loading on the device page anymore. I tried using the example add-in from github too and that one won't load either. This is happening with feature preview turned on, but not when it's turned off, so I assume it has to do with the new version. Is there something I need to update to get the add-ins working again? Thanks,Tucker

I want to be able to send an email to a group of email addresses whenever a driver sends a message from the Geotab Drive app. This is a feature in People Net and we're trying to replicate it for a customer. Thanks,Tucker

Is it possible to hook into the Messages feature in Geotab?

I know this has to be somewhere in the documentation or forums but I searched both and couldn't find it. I want to get it from within the focus method, but I've tried a few things with no luck so I figured I'd go ahead and ask here. Thanks in advance

How can I get the currently logged in user in a MyGeotab Add-in?

I want to add a report to a database's dashboard with code. I looked through the MyGeotab SDK and the MyAdmin SDK and didn't see anything that looked like I could so I wanted to ask here just to make sure I didn't miss something. Thanks,Tucker

Is there a way to add a new report to a dashboard with the MyGeotab API?

I'm working on an integration for a customer who wants to get coordinates from Geotab as well as the direction the vehicle is traveling. Is it possible to get the traveling direction with GetFeed?

Is it possible to get driving direction with coordinates in MyGeotab SDK GetFeed?

I have a customer who has an internal web app they've developed but they want to access it from within the Geotab Drive app. Is there any way to so something like iframing it into Drive like we do in MyGeotab? If not I can build a Drive add-in for them but that would be a little more dev work so I wanted to check on this before starting. Thanks!

Can I add an iframe as a Geotab Drive Add-in?

Hey <a data-id="10732" data-value="mike23421" data-denotation-char="@" href="/user/mike23421" class="text-decoration-none mention">@mike23421</a>, I wouldn't be too concerned with the API rate limits, they're pretty generous and you would probably need to do something crazy to be able to hit those limits, and I would hope the mcp would be built in a way to use best practices and not hit rate limits with normal use.

You can see the limit on the API Resource page, for example, Device is 50,000 and can be seen here if you scroll down to pagination. https://developers.geotab.com/myGeotab/apiReference/objects/Device/index.html Thanks,Tucker

Does the Geotab API have a limit on how many response will be returned?

Showing all request and response information would be helpful in debugging this. Thanks,Tucker

Do you have more information on what's happening? Like are there specific error codes you're receiving from the page load request or do you have any logs from the server to show that the request is making it there and not being blocked somewhere in the middle? Any additional information would help. Thanks,Tucker

Yes GetFeed is more efficient for that, but Get also just had pagination added recently which can be combined with the propetySelector to have pretty efficient requests that kind of act like a GetFeed but within a certain date range. You could also try that if you wanted. Otherwise, I'd say do what you're doing and just monitor the result set for the end date you're looking for and stop looking at results after that. You also might want to look at the API adapter if you haven't. Then you could feed your data into your own database and query the data from there. For large fleets like yours we typically recommend that method to our customers when they're trying to set something like that up.
