Driver REST API

The Driver REST API is a RESTful web service that enables Verizon Connect customers to integrate 3rd party back-office systems with REVEAL to keep driver, user, vehicle, and group information up to date.

The Driver REST API is separated out into different services that have a variety of methods that can be accessed to create, update, and delete key objects within a REVEAL account.

This documentation will breakdown each of the services and the methods that are available: Drivers, Users, Vehicles, and Groups.

Key concepts for using the Driver RESTAPI methods:

·      Driver REST  API is offered as a RESTful web service

·      Standard REST verbs are applied: GET, POST, PUT, DELETE

·      Driver REST API services: Drivers, Users, Vehicles, and Groups

·      Throughout this document, we will reference the unique identifier to be invoked for each of the main objects available to be created, updated, or deleted.  The unique identifiers are as follows and can be managed within the REVEAL account by the same field name.

o   Driver = Driver Number

Note: To return information on Non-powered assets please call for the methods specified in Non-Powered Assets API .The returned response will be restricted to the Reveal account's data plan. If the information being queried is outside of the data plan, a "400 Bad Request error "response will be returned.

For more details on your account's data plan please reach out to Verizon Connect Customer Support
