Motion Tracking Service (MTS) Updates
Date: 2/21/24
We are excited to announce that Motion Tracking System (MTS) now supports GPS-based location tracking capabilities, enabling developers to build apps that require precise location of vehicles and assets provided by various GPS providers. In addition to the introduction of GPS-based tracking, we have introduced new API endpoints to existing MTS APIs to improve the performance of location data. As as result of the new API endpoint introduction, a few of the existing API endpoints will be deprecated. Please read below for more details.
Migration Recommendation
We highly recommend that developers migrate to the new endpoints by the end of March to use the latest features of MTS. Also, the existing API endpoints, for which new and equivalent endpoints are launched, will be deprecated by the end of March 2024.
Our updated GPS tracking feature allows for precise tracking of vehicles and assets using GPS devices and external services. It integrates seamlessly with MTS and its default provider integrations for a smooth tracking experience.
We are introducing new, specialized tracking APIs to cater to the diverse needs of our users:
- SIM-Based Tracking:
- POST /mts/sim/tracks
- GET /mts/sim/tracks
- GET /mts/sim/tracks/{trackId}
- PUT /mts/sim/tracks/{trackId}
- GET /mts/sim/tracks/{trackName}
- PUT /mts/sim/tracks/{trackName}
- Smartphone Tracking:
- POST /mts/smart-phone/tracks
- GET /mts/smart-phone/tracks
