[API] Get Drivers Realtime Status

Privileged and Confidential This endpoint design has been confidentially shared with you. It is still under development and is subject to change without notice. Please do not share this document or API endpoint details with anyone who is not authorized to have access. For more information read about scopes.

Obtain the real-time status information for a single driver or all drivers associated with a supplier organization. This includes driver availability, trip status, and online/offline status, enabling effective monitoring and management of driver operations within the organization.

Use case

The Get Driver Realtime Status API enables an application to promptly inquire about the current status of drivers. This functionality proves beneficial in situations where displaying the most recent status upon user request is essential, like updating a dashboard or conducting regular checks. Unlike utilizing a webhook, this approach entails the application continuously querying the server for status updates, offering adaptability for scenarios where immediate response to status changes isn’t necessary. Additionally, this API furnishes vehicle details alongside the driver’s onboarding status and information. The data refresh rate time for this API is less than 1 minute, ensuring timely and accurate updates.

Using Dependent API

To monitor drivers’ real-time status, such as availability and trip status, fleet owners should follow a two-step process. Firstly, they need to use the Get Organizations API, entering the Fleet Supplier’s unique ID to retrieve all associated encrypted organization IDs. Secondly, with these encrypted organization IDs, fleet owners can then access the Get Drivers Realtime Status API to fetch real-time status information for drivers linked to each specific organization.

Support for Hierarchical Data

Not Supported. The API returns the status information of the drivers directly linked to the organization. It doesn’t support fetching drivers linked to their child organizations
