The
Token API is a RESTful web service that enables integrated users to retrieve a
token which will be submitted as part of a request header to authenticate
access to various APIs available by Fleetmatics. The integration user will need to pass in
his/her username and password in the request header with basic authentication
scheme and a token text will be returned in HTTP response.
Fleetmatics
must provide the integration user with credentials to access any of our
proprietary APIs. The username and
password provided to the integration user will enable access to the Token API
which is an initial mandatory process for using any of the other available web
services.
When the
token is provided to the integration user it will be required to be added to
the request header for each web services call made. It is important to note that tokens generated
expire after 20 minutes and then the integration user would be expected to call
the service again to receive a new token.
