Vehicle Data

Review of different Vehicle Data APIs

High Mobility provides several ways to deliver vehicle data. In this section, we give an overview of the available methods and when to use each one.

REST API

This API provides access to the last known state of a vehicle. While it is simple to use, we recommend limiting it to integration testing only. Avoid polling this API every few minutes for each vehicle, as the state will be lost between calls. For production and professional use cases, we strongly recommend using push-based methods instead.

MQTT V1

MQTT is a well-known technology with many client libraries available in different programming languages. We recommend using MQTT if you manage a fleet of fewer than 1,000 vehicles. We are currently working on improving our MQTT broker to better support larger fleets and will provide updates once it is ready.

AWS Kinesis

This integration uses Amazon Web Services Kinesis, a real-time data streaming service. You need an AWS account, a configured Kinesis stream, and to grant High Mobility access to it. Choose this method if you need to consume data as quickly as possible. It scales seamlessly with your growth and does not impose limitations.

AWS S3

This integration works with Amazon Web Services S3, a cloud object storage service. You need an AWS account, an S3 bucket, and to grant High Mobility access to it. This approach is suitable when real-time data is not required, and a delay of up to 5 minutes is acceptable. It also allows you to leverage the wide ecosystem of third-party tools that integrate with S3 for data processing and analytics.

Azure Blob Storage

This integration works with Azure Blob Storage , a cloud object storage service. You need an Azure account, an Blob Storage, and to grant High Mobility access to it. This approach is suitable when real-time data is not required, you can configure data delivery in great details. It also allows you to leverage the wide ecosystem of third-party tools that integrate with Blob Storage for data processing and analytics.

Static Data API

The Static Data API(Beta) enables you to perform build information lookups for vehicles in your fleet. The data is provided by DAT Group and we offer the convenience of retrieving the information via our platform
