Custom Attributes Beta API
We've released a beta version of a new set of endpoints that allow you to create and manage custom attributes for drivers and vehicles. See the new Custom Attributes guide for more details.
Approx. Engine Runtime on Equipment
A new stat type is available for the types
query param in the /fleet/equipment/stats
endpoints: types=gatewayJ1939EngineSeconds
. This an approximation of engine runtime for equipment with J1939/CAT cables. It is based on the cumulative time that the Samsara AG device has received power from the engine. This stat is only available for equipment that does not automatically report engine runtime from on-board diagnostics. In order to activate this stat, you must set a manual engine runtime offset for the piece of equipment in the Samsara Dashboard.
Risk Zone Addresses
Addresses now support riskZone
as an additional option for addressTypes[]
.
/me API endpoint
A /me
API endpoint is now available that returns information about the organization that the API access token belongs to. This includes the organization's id
, name
, and carrierSettings
if the organization is a fleet.
Conditional Fields in Documents
Documents now support conditional fields that enable follow-up questions for a given multiple-choice answer.
Beta APIs
A beta API section has been added to the API reference docs. These APIs are available for you to test and leave feedback! Beta APIs are subject to change before they become generally available. GA releases of beta APIs will be announced via the changelog. Future beta APIs will be released in the beta section of the API reference docs.
ECU Speed
ECU speed is now available in the Vehicle Stats endpoints. The types=ecuSpeedMph
query parameter will provide ECU speed for all three vehicle stats endpoints. This speed measure comes directly from on-board diagnostics, as opposed to speed calculated using GPS.
Industrial Assets, Data Inputs, and Data Input Feeds
New endpoints have been released for Samsara's Industrial products. These endpoints allow you to manage the industrial Assets in your organization, list Data Inputs, and collect both historical data and follow a data feed. See the Industrial API reference docs for more details.
