Public API
Every piece of data in Fleetbooks is accessible through a documented RESTful API. Pull live vehicle positions, query historical trips, manage geofences, or receive event notifications via webhooks — without logging into the dashboard.
Use the API to connect Fleetbooks to your existing systems, build internal dashboards with your exact metrics, or deliver tracking directly inside your own customer-facing products.

Authentication
API access is authenticated with API keys scoped to specific read or write permissions. Keys are issued per account and can be rotated or revoked at any time from the settings panel.
OAuth 2.0 client credentials flow is available for server-to-server integrations where you need tokens with a defined expiry rather than long-lived keys.

What the Fleetbooks API does for your integrations.
Full REST API Coverage
Vehicles, trips, alerts, drivers, and geofences are all accessible via predictable endpoints with consistent JSON responses and standard HTTP status codes.
Comprehensive Documentation
Every endpoint is documented with request parameters, response schemas, and worked examples. An OpenAPI specification is available for code generation.
Rate Limiting and Quotas
API usage is subject to per-account rate limits returned in response headers. Webhook deliveries include automatic retry logic with exponential backoff.
Integration patterns
Common ways development teams use the Fleetbooks API in production.
ERP and TMS Integration
Feed real-time vehicle positions and completed trip records into your transport management or ERP system. Webhooks trigger job status updates the moment a trip ends, without any polling.
Custom Internal Dashboards
Build internal dashboards tailored to your exact business metrics — cost per kilometer, utilization by depot, or driver rankings — using live Fleetbooks data as the source without building your own data collection.
Customer-Facing Tracking Portals
Embed live delivery tracking into your own customer portal or mobile app using the Fleetbooks API as the data layer. Your customers see tracking in your branded interface without knowing Fleetbooks is behind it.
