Web Service API: Overview

FASTER Web has a robust set of Web Service API add-ons. These APIs will permit FASTER, your IT team or your vendor to build middleware that can connect these APIs to your vendor’s system to create a robust integration. You have the option to engage FASTER to build the middleware that connects to your other vendor’s system or you may choose to have your IT Team or the other vendor build middleware.

API Feature Summary:

  • FASTER Web APIs allow data to be either imported or exported from FASTER Web allowing your internal IT or your vendor to add, update and inquire data in FASTER Web. The following are a few examples of integrations:
    • Importing alerts data (this can include fault codes and DTC)
    • Importing meter data (this can include PTO, Idle Hours, etc.)
    • Exporting asset birth certificate data (to keep other systems in sync with FASTER Web)
    • Importing GPS location data
    • Importing and exporting purchase order data
    • Importing and exporting inventory data (orders and invoices)
  • Uses Microsoft Web API-2 methodology which is based on REST web service architecture
  • API methods support JSON
  • FASTER Web’s API documentation is embedded in the product for ease of use.
  • Flexibility to choose how the necessary middleware is created. Middleware to create the connection between the API and the other vendor’s system can be created by your internal IT Team, the vendor of the other system, or you have the option to engage FASTER for a reasonable development cost (including testing).
  • Licensed individually allowing you to only purchase the API set(s) you need.

Asset Alerts API

API for retrieving and creating Alerts that occurred on an Asset in FASTER Web.
Recommended Frequency: Once per hour.

Alerts help identify potential maintenance issues. Therefore, it is important you choose a telematics vendor who can provide alert codes with an accurate, meaningful description. The vendor should only export codes that are important enough to warrant a critical maintenance need. For example, you do not want to import the many hundreds of codes that would not warrant or justify a speedy repair action.

  • Creates one or more Alerts that occurred on an asset.
    • *Required Data Set: VIN Serial, Alert Code, Alert Date/Time and Offset  (format: YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS-0:00)
