Geotab is a fleet telematics platform providing the MyGeotab SDK and REST API for vehicle tracking, driver behavior monitoring, fuel management, ELD compliance, and route optimization. The MyGeotab API uses JSON-RPC 2.0 over HTTPS with session-token authentication, exposing a single versioned endpoint at /apiv1 that supports Get, Add, Set, and Remove operations across all fleet entities including devices, trips, fault data, and status data. The MyAdmin API provides reseller and partner access to manage databases, orders, and provisioning. Native SDK clients are available for JavaScript, .NET, Java, and Python, and the full SDK and sample code are published on GitHub.
