Partner Developer Portal

Overview

We built the partner developer portal to give external developers a Samsara home to draft apps, test in a non-production environment (sandbox), access learning resources, and creat and manage apps for the App Marketplace.

Note: If you received an invite to join the Developer Portal, but your invite has expired, please reach out to Samsara Support and they can issue an invite again. Be sure to check your spam folder.

Create Marketplace Apps

You can create Samsara Marketplace apps using App Publisher. Navigate to Apps in your developer portal to begin.

ℹ️ Learn more about the app lifecycle and our Marketplace certification program here.

Access your Sandbox

A sandbox org will be added to your developer portal on the Organizations page. Users will need to be added separately for the Developer Portal and the Sandbox.

❗️

If you do not have a sandbox your developer portal, contact Samsara Support to request one. Include your developer portal org ID (in the cloud.samsara.com URL).

This is an equivalent environment to a Samsara customer dashboard. You can access Samsara's native features and navigate to Settings > Apps to install your draft app (i.e. grant data sharing via OAuth 2.0 or API Token) for alpha testing.

ℹ️ Sandboxes are an area we want to enhance over time to make the developer experience better. What type of simulated data would support integration development and alpha testing? Please submit your requests for improvement via our feedback form here.

How do I access test data or run a beta test?

We recommend contacting a mutual customer to acquire an API token from their Samsara org. You can scope that token down to a Samsara Tag to limit which assets and drivers you will test your integration on.

Get API access in your Sandbox

Use your Sandbox to follow the steps a mutual customer would take to install your app (i.e. grant data sharing access). You can access your draft app in your test org for testing.

• OAuth 2.0 apps: log in to Samsara and grant data access via your draft app
• [Legacy] API Token apps: install your draft app under Settings > Apps to generate a prescoped API token

Add Users

Navigate to Settings (the gear icon in the bottom left corner of your screen) then Users & Roles. Click "Invite User" in the top right corner of your screen. To navigate back to your Developer Portal, click on your profile, then "View My Organizations", then select your Developer Portal organization.
