What is Fleet Data?

Fleet ownership is when several vehicles are owned by a single entity.

Fleet data provides specific vehicle data. Therefore, it requires the consent of the vehicle owner/driver.

The Otonomo Vehicle Data Platform enables fleet operators and service providers with access to application-ready fleet vehicle data, which is normalized, enriched and data-privacy compliant.

How to consume data?

We support several types of data consumption:

  • Reports
  • Events
  • Streaming - using Push API
  • Pull APIs

Streaming

Through our streaming interface, Otonomo creates a direct data pipeline to your servers.
This provides you with the ability to get the most up-to-date data once it’s received from the provider.

Pull APIs

There are 4 methods to receive the vehicle data:

  • Get Vehicle Status – this call provides the latest known status of a specific vehicle. The API is Synchronous API. Click here for more information.
  • Get multiple vehicles' statuses - this call provides the latest status for multiple vehicles in an Asynchronous mode. The data will be aggregated in a report. Click here for more information. To check your repot status click here.
