A shared vehicle identity
Map the identifiers used by Fleetly, devices and business systems so a registration change does not break the relationship. Keep historical assignments when devices move between vehicles.
Build with Fleetly / Fleetly API
Connect fleet context to the systems your teams already use.
Plan an API integration around approved vehicle, driver, journey and event data. Give business applications the fleet context they need, with a clear contract for access, ownership and change.
Plan your integrationMAKE THE CONNECTION USEFULStart with the decision.
Start with the decision.
Design the data around it.
An effective fleet API integration begins with a business decision. A transport system may need journey context; a service desk may need vehicle and incident details; an analytics team may need a defined reporting extract. Agree the required information and permitted use first, then confirm the endpoints, fields and access model available for your Fleetly account.
PRACTICAL USE CASES
Where this integration can add value.
Operational context on demand
Scope approved reads around the consuming workflow. Request only the vehicles, period and fields needed rather than repeatedly copying the entire fleet estate.
Reporting with traceability
Preserve source time, units and data-quality indicators in downstream reports. Keep a record of when data was retrieved so late-arriving information can be reconciled.
Controlled write workflows
Where a write operation is supported, define which system owns the record, who may change it and how retries are handled. Read access does not imply permission to update or issue commands.
Every connection has a working path.
Select a stage to see what needs to happen and why it matters.
Fleetly API / Scope
Define the business question
Name the consuming system, fleet scope and decision the data will support. Agree a source of truth for each shared record.
Read the complete workflow
- Define the business question
Name the consuming system, fleet scope and decision the data will support. Agree a source of truth for each shared record.
- Confirm the API contract
Obtain the current account-specific documentation, permitted operations and authentication requirements through Fleetly. Keep credentials server-side.
- Translate data consistently
Match stable identifiers, timestamps and units. Preserve missing values as missing and retain source context.
- Use data in the workflow
Apply the returned information in the approved system. Respect documented limits and avoid treating stale information as live.
- Monitor and maintain
Track failures, freshness and coverage. Agree how schema changes, credential rotation and historical corrections will be managed.
DATA WITH CONTEXT
Agree the meaning before moving the data.
These are scoping considerations, not field names or a published API schema. Confirm the exact contract for your implementation.
| Data area | Why it matters | What to validate |
|---|---|---|
| Vehicle identity | Links the same asset across systems. | Confirm a stable key and registration-change handling. |
| Event time | Places an observation in the correct sequence. | Agree UTC storage and local display rules. |
| Source and units | Explains where a value came from and what it measures. | Validate units, precision and unavailable values. |
| Access scope | Defines which records and operations are permitted. | Test authorised access and expected denials. |

COMMON QUESTIONSUnderstand the scope.
Understand the scope.
Plan with confidence.
Where can I obtain API documentation?
Contact Fleetly with your account, integration use case and required data. The team can confirm the applicable documentation and access process. This page is an integration guide, not an executable API reference.
Can I connect any business application?
The application needs a suitable interface and an agreed integration design. Data rights, security, supported operations and ongoing ownership must be confirmed.
Are all API operations read and write?
No. Permissions and operations depend on the approved contract. Treat data retrieval, record updates and device commands as separate capabilities.
What happens when a request fails?
Follow the documented error and retry behaviour. Use bounded retries, record unresolved failures and reconcile data after recovery rather than silently discarding gaps.
SUPPORTING RESOURCES
Take the next step with a clear plan.
Confirm your production scope.
Features and integration methods depend on the agreed devices, interfaces, permissions and enabled modules. Request the current technical documentation before implementation; never include passwords or access tokens in an initial enquiry.
