API Clients

Info

This page explains how you can manage your API Clients within FleetControl. For detailed technical information on this topic, please refer to our developer documentation.

Create and manage client credentials for accessing the INVERS REST API with your own software and applications. Use these credentials to request data and send vehicle commands. Create a separate authentication client for each application. To access this feature go to Developers > API Clients. If you are implementing event consumers (RabbitMQ), go to the event consumers page instead.

Creating a New API Client⚓︎

  1. Select Add API Client.
  2. Name your new client.
  3. Choose the necessary permissions by turning the toggle switch on. Select between read-only and read & write if applicable. For detailed descriptions, see the permission guide in our developer documentation.
  4. Click Add to create your API client.

Copy the Secret

Be sure to copy and save the client secret immediately after adding a new API client. You cannot access it again later.

Client Secret⚓︎

The client secret, along with the client ID, is essential for API access. It is shown only once, right after you add a new client.

Generating a New Secret⚓︎

If you lose a client secret, you cannot access the INVERS API with that API client anymore. In that case, you can generate a new secret:

  • Select the API client and click on the arrow behind the obscured secret.
  • Select Generate to create a new secret.
  • Be sure to copy and save the new secret right away. Update it in all applications using this API client.

Edit Permissions⚓︎

To change permissions, select the API client, click Edit in the right panel, and turn the toggle switches off or on. Remember to select Save.

More Actions⚓︎

You can edit the name of a client or completely delete an API Client. Choose the API client and select … to find Edit Name or Delete.
