Trips/get_trip_locations

get_trip_locationstoken required

Returns the breadcrumb locations (lat/lon, speed, mileage, status) for a single trip / drive.

POST/api— body field action.name = "get_trip_locations"

Parameters

NameTypeRequiredDescription
drive_idstringrequiredThe drive/trip id to load locations for. On the wire this is the PG `trip.id` (small integer), not the legacy MSSQL `DRIVE_ID`. Grab one from a `get_vehicle_trips` response.e.g. 11821334
versionstringoptionalAPI version selector (currently only v1). Accepted but ignored.e.g. 1
from_datestringoptionalStart of the location window (inclusive). Narrows the breadcrumb to part of the trip.e.g. 2026-08-24T08:00:00
to_datestringoptionalEnd of the location window (exclusive).e.g. 2026-08-24T09:00:00

Pagination

This action is paginated. The two parameters below are accepted on every call (both optional); omitting them yields page 1 with 100 rows. The response carries a pagination envelope alongside data; iterate while has_more === true.

page, page_size and has_more are present on every paginated response. total_count and total_pages are returned only by some actions — treat them as optional and drive iteration from has_more rather than from a page count worked out in advance.

NameTypeRequiredDescription
page_numbernumberoptional1-based page index. Defaults to 1 if omitted. Page 1 pins a snapshot for stateful actions (events, telemetry) — subsequent pages reuse that snapshot until the session expires (~30 minutes).e.g. 1
page_sizenumberoptionalRows per page. Defaults to 2000, which is also the maximum — larger values are silently capped to 2000, and a response of exactly 2000 rows usually means there are more pages. For stateful actions (events, telemetry) only the value sent with page 1 is honored, because later pages reuse the size pinned by the snapshot; stateless actions read it on every request.e.g. 2000
Iterate every page
curl
# Iterate every page until pagination.has_more is false.
# page_size "100" is a deliberate small page so the loop is visible — the
# default is 2000, which is also the maximum. Raise it to fetch fewer,
# larger pages; you still stop on has_more either way.
# Requires: jq (https://stedolan.github.io/jq/).

done

Page 1 pins a snapshot for stateful actions (events, telemetry). If the session expires (~30 min) the API returns action_value="3" with description pagination_session_expired — restart from page_number=1.

Notes

Trip access is checked against the session's client_id; non-owned trips return action_value '2' with an empty data array.

Response

Successful responses always wrap the action's payload in response.properties. The action_value field reports the handler outcome: "0" for success, "1" for invalid params, "2" for not allowed, "3" for limit-exceeded /pagination-session-expired, "999" for general error.
