Non- Powered Assets Update REST

Asset Update API enables integrated users to poll GPS location-based information of the Non-Powered Assets within the Reveal account

Important concepts to understand prior to utilizing any of the available integration methods:

·        Asset Update API is offered as a RESTful web service

·       Standard REST verbs are applied: GET, POST

·       Throughout this document, we will reference the unique identifier to be invoked for each of the main objects available to be created or deleted.  The unique identifiers used within this API method set include:

o   Asset Number

·       This API only interacts with your Non-Powered Asset.  Any Powered Asset trackers you have will need to be queried using the Vehicle Update API.

 

Note: 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
