Cartracker API for developers.

Activate the API yourself as a super admin via Marketplace and learn how to securely log in for a planning system, administration, dashboard, or your own application.

In short

The API works via HTTPS and token authentication. Available endpoints provide access to companies, users, drivers, vehicles, trips, and more, depending on the account's permissions.

Getting started

From Marketplace to your first API call.

1. Create a Super admin user for the API

Only a super admin can access the API. Don't have a super admin user yet? You can create one yourself within your Cartracker account.

2. Activate the API in Marketplace

Open the Marketplace in your Cartracker account and activate the API yourself. No request or manual activation by Cartracker is required.

3. Log in via the API and test

Use your activated account to log in via the API. Test relevant endpoints exclusively via a secure HTTPS connection.

Available data

The primary data groups.

The current documentation is the definitive source for exact fields, parameters, and responses.

Companies and users

Company details, users, company users, and roles within the authorized account structure.

Vehicles and drivers

Vehicle information and the relationships between vehicles, users, and drivers.

Trips

Trip data that can be processed for planning, administration, analysis, or your own application.

Security

Treat API access like a key.

Never store tokens in public source code or browser applications. Use server-side storage, restrict access to authorized systems, and only share data necessary for the intended purpose.

The API is available to Cartracker customers at no extra cost. You can manage activation, super-admin settings, and access entirely on your own via your account and the Marketplace.
