It took us two weeks of intense work to design and release flespi storage component API - the fastest IoT cloud database development seen to date.

Data storage system is one of the critical elements for any platform. As in the case with most of flespi components we developed own database management system

Affordable API to access telematics data from versatile GPS trackers effortlessly.

How universal REST API facilitates integrations, gives flexibility, and speeds up the development of asset management solutions.

The location for all data in your flespi account.

API Box Test all available REST API methods, generate curl requests, preview affected items, learn about deprecated methods, and more. More details and screenshots in a dedicated article. Start exploring the flespi REST API now. Run flespi.io/docs/ Interactive Just a few mouse clicks to form the request and you see the result in an instant. Personalized Tied to your flespi account via token, API Box allows to directly communicate with all the items in your account. Caring For potentially risky requests (PUT, POST, DELETE) that can accidentally cause "harm" API Box allows to preview the list of affected items to make sure nothing unwanted happens. Neat The new interface and usability are well thought-out to make your experience highly productive. Testing REST API with pleasure Pick the flespi entity to manage, select the proper API request, configure it, and view the result. Create new items, configure the necessary fields, copy the JSON schema, get the curl, etc. Start exploring the flespi REST API with flespi.io/docs/.

REST API API to perform any operation with the flespi platform. Open API Box to delve into the API docs now. Also check our MQTT API. Flespi is a backend platform that is destined to sit under the hood of your beautiful solution. Therefore, most of the time, flespi is in itself the API. ALL operations with the flespi platform can be performed via the REST API and signed with the authorization token. Request structure curl -X [GET|POST|PUT|DELETE] --header ’Authorization: FlespiToken XXXXXX’ -d ‘[{"name":"new-name","parameter":"value"}]’ ‘https://flespi.io/resource-location-URL’ Learn how to obtain authorization token in our KB. Example 1: get the list of all registered devices curl -X get --header 'Authorization: XXXXXX' 'https://flespi.io/gw/devices/all' Example 2: create new ‘teltonika’ channel curl -X post --header 'Authorization: FlespiToken XXXXXX' -d '[{"name":"new-channel-name","protocol_name":"teltonika"}]' 'https://flespi.io/gw/channels' Example 3: delete a flespi device with specific id curl -X delete --header 'Authorization: FlespiToken XXXXXX' 'https://flespi.io/gw/devices/123456 Example 4: get latest digital inputs and position information for multiple devices selected by id curl -X get --header 'Authorization: XXXXXX' 'https://flespi.io/gw/devices/1,2,3,4,5/telemetry/position,din' Available APIs Platform API To manage your account data and authorization tokens. Gateway API To create and manage the instances of the telematics hub that jointly provide the end-to-end communication between the GPS trackers and your target application (you will need this one most of the time). Storage API To set up and manage low-level storage elements that can be used inside any telematics system. MQTT broker API To operate flespi MQTT broker via REST API. API Box is the latest version of the flespi REST API documentation perfect for finding the proper request methods, interactive testing, learning about deprecated methods, and a lot more (check the detailed API Box guide here). Interesting fact All the user-friendly tools you use to manage your flespi account — flespi panel, Toolbox, TrackIt, HelpBox, etc. — are just neatly developed customer-facing interfaces wrapped around the API. Basically, these are the living examples of applications developed on top of the flespi API;) Permissions You can use ACL tokens to grant access to the specific parts of the platform: Request limits Limits on the number of REST API calls in Free and Commercial accounts are outlined here.
