MyWakes geo location REST Web API
Consume REST Web API service from any device or application.
With MyWakes REST API you will be able to build your custom solution and send HTTP requests in order to get the data you need.
MyWakes REST Web API use case
Here are some examples of what you can do with GPS tracking APIs:
- Create and manage your tracks, consumers, users and so on...
- Generate points from any of your registered device
- Build a mobile App that takes a picture, upload it on MyWakes linking it to your current track
- Develop a desktop application that downloads tracks data and creates custom statistics
- Design a website that shows your vehicles positions
- Retrieve information like mileage when a vehicle is parked and import it in your ERP
- Applications written in any programming language can interact with data on MyWakes.
Through our web interface it is possible to look at the Rest API documentation and test every endpoints (based on your execution permissions).
First of all you have to insert your Application Id in the “My Wakes Application Id” field.
Then, by clicking on the desired signature (on the right you can see what kind of permission you need in order to execute that specific command) you will see the command description along with request parameters and response object.
When a command expects for “username” request parameter, it means that it is possible to specify a User that has been created by the current Application.

REST Web APIs interface permissions
Every MyWakes user can request one Application Id to make Rest API Requests.
Each endpoint belongs to a set of endpoints called “interface”.
Depending on user's contract, an Application Id can be qualified to run one or more interfaces' endpoints. This makes ad Application Id capable to run some endpoints but not others.
The permission referenced by each endpoint is specified next to Rest API signature: 
, 
, etc.
REST requests format standards
Each request must include MyWakes Application Id in the HTTP Header X-MyWakes-Application-Id.
The X-MyWakes-Application-Id header identifies your application and, consequently the interfaces that you will be able to use.
Each POST and PUT requests, can have a request body both in JSON and XML, with the Content-Type header set to application/json or application/xml.
REST response format standards
The response format for all requests depends on the Accept header and can be a JSON object or a XML document with the Accept header set to application/json or application/xml.
Whether a request succeeded is indicated by the HTTP status code.
A 2xx status code indicates success, whereas a 4xx status code indicates failure.
Error 429 indicates that too many daily calls have been sent; it is necessary to wait the remaining seconds for the next reset. The reset will take place at 00:00 UTC.
When a request fails, the response body format will be JSON or XML accordingly the Accept header, but always contains the fields “code” and “message” which you can inspect to use for debugging. For example, trying to use an invalid Application Id will return:
The following headers are present in the response:
-
X-MyWakes-Limit-Current - Maximum limit of daily calls;
-
X-MyWakes-Limit-Remaining - Number of calls left in the day;
-
X-MyWakes-Limit-Reset - Seconds left until next calls totalizer reset.
If the request fails, the following header will also be present in the response:
-
X-MyWakes-Error - Description of the error.
If there are any warnings, the following header will also be present in the response:
-
X-MyWakes-Warnings - Descriptions of the warnings.
