• Send an email to support@automile.com to request help with our API or your account.

Prerequisites

• .NET version 4.5 or newer

Dependencies

• Newtonsoft.Json

Quickstart 🏃

Installing via NuGet

Install-Package Automile.Net -prerelease

Add the Automile namespace were you want to use the code.

using Automile.Net;

// Have no account ? Well that's easy - you can signup directly from 
// this call and be given access to a demo vehicle
var savedThis = AutomileClient.SignUp("your@email.com");
// remember to savethis property - it contains your login information

// create the client directly from your signup
var client = new AutomileClient(savedThis);

// or
var client = new AutomileClient("username", "password", "api client identifier", "api secret");

// if you want to save the token (recommended)
client.SaveToken(@"token.json");

// next time you can create the client from the saved token
var client = new AutomileClient(@"token.json"));

That's shouldn't have been too hard 💦

Note: Automile is currentley accepting username and password authentication for users belonging to private clients you are creating.

    // if you want to associate additional vehicles check CreateVehicleGeofence 
	// that adds an existing geofence to a vehicle
    VehicleId = 33553,
    GeofencePolygon = new GeofencePolygon(coordinates),
    GeofenceType = ApiGeofenceType.Outside, // supports inside, outside or both

    Schedules = null // if you want to add a specific schedule
});

Delete a geofence

client.DeleteGeofence(881);

Notification Methods

All these methods are used to retrieve one or multiple notifications. You can also create, edit, mute, unmute and delete notifications. Notifications was earlier called Triggers.

With notifications you can also easily add webhooks, the destination for a notification could be:

• Webhook (HTTP Post)
• Text
• E-mail
• Inbox (in Automile UI)

Webhook format

{
    "triggerMessageHistoryId": 0,
    "triggerId": 0,
    "triggerType": 0,
    "vehicleId": 0,
    "messageData1": "",
    "messageData2": ""
}

The message data 1 and 2 will contains data relating to the actual used notification type. If you for example use a notificiation for trip start or trip end the messageData1 will contain the actual trip id.

Get all notifications (earlier called triggers)

var notifications =  client.GetNotifications();

Get details for a specific notification (earlier called triggers)

var notificationDetails =  client.GetNotificationById(25173);

Create a notification

var newNotification = client.CreateNotification(new TriggerCreateModel()
{
    IMEIConfigId = 28288, // What is this ?
	// IMEIConfigId is today called DeviceId and is the device identifier 
	// connected to the vehicle, you can get this id from the vehicle (GetVehicleById method)
    TriggerType = ApiTriggerType.Accident,
    DestinationType = ApiDestinationType.Sms,
    DestinationData = "+14158320378"
});

Why using a different identifier for notifications ? The reasons is that there are two objects, the vehicle contains all properties for a vehicle while a device (earlier called IMEIConfig) is connected to the vehicle. If you move the device to another vehicle the notifications are still valid.

Edit a notification

client.EditNotification(190914, new TriggerEditModel()
{
    IMEIConfigId = 28288, // See note above, this is the DeviceId
    TriggerType = ApiTriggerType.Accident,
    DestinationType = ApiDestinationType.Sms,
    DestinationData = "+14158320378"
});

Mute a notification

client.MuteNotification(190913,60*60); // mutes for 1 hour

Unmute a notification

client.UnmuteNotification(190913);

Delete a notification

client.DeleteNotification(190913);

Notification Message Methods

This is used to get historic messages that have been sent to the destination configured.

Get all notifications messages

var notificationMessages =  client.GetNotificationMessages();

Get all notifications messages for a specific notification

var forSpecificNotification =  client.GetNotificationMessagesByNotificationId(148638);

Place Methods

With places you can track visits (stops) to locations and carry out certain automation rules. A place is a position (latitude and longitude) and a radius (given in metric meters).

Get all places

var places =  client.GetPlaces();

Get details for a specific place

var placeDetails =  client.GetPlaceById(10977);

Create a place for automation and associate it with the first vehicle

var newPlace = client.CreatePlace(new PlaceCreateModel()
{
    Name = "My place",
    Description = "My home",
    PositionPoint = new PositionPointModel() { Latitude = 37.445368, Longitude = -122.166608 },
    Radius = 100, //metric meters
	//This will whenever the vehicle starts at this location set it to business
    TripType = ApiTripType.Business, 
    TripTypeTrigger = ApiTripTypeTrigger.Start,
    VehicleId = 33553
});

Edit a place

client.EditPlace(11968, new PlaceEditModel()
{
    Name = "My place",
    Description = "My home",
    PositionPoint = new PositionPointModel() { Latitude = 37.445368, Longitude = -122.166608 },
    Radius = 100,
    TripType = ApiTripType.Business,
    TripTypeTrigger = ApiTripTypeTrigger.DrivesBetween,
});

Delete a place

client.DeletePlace(11968);

Device Methods

Devices are smartphones or/and Automile's smart boxes. Every box is attached to a vehicle. Notifications are attached to devices while places and geofences are attached to vehicles.

Get all devices

var devices =  client.GetDevices();

Get details for a specific device

var deviceDetails =  client.GetDeviceById(28288);

Register a device and associate it to a vehicle

var newDevice = client.CreateDevice(new IMEIConfigCreateModel()
{
    IMEI = "353466072332998",
    SerialNumber = "6070763210",
    VehicleId = 33553,
    IMEIDeviceType = null // no need if you register a box
});

Edit a device

client.EditDevice(28288, new IMEIConfigEditModel()
{
    VehicleId = 33553
});

What do I use this for ? This method is used to move a device to another vehicle. Automile still apply automatic creation of vehicles and moving devices when they are moved to new vehicles. But in a cases you may want to move the device manually to another vehicle.

Delete a device

client.DeleteDevice(11968);

Fleet Methods

Fleets are used to divide vehicles into groups that can apply different security priviligies.

Get all fleets

var fleets =  client.GetFleets();

Get details for a specific fleet

var fleetDetails =  client.GetFleetById(3331);

Create a fleet and associate it with me (in this case)

var newFleet = client.CreateFleet(new CompanyCreateModel()
{
    CreateRelationshipToContactId = 2,
    Description = "Some good description for the fleet",
    RegisteredCompanyName = "My new fleet"
});

Edit a fleet

client.EditFleet(3331, new CompanyEditModel()
{
    Description = "Test",
    RegisteredCompanyName = "Automile Palo Alto Fleet"
});

Delete a fleet

client.DeleteFleet(3331);

    ValidFrom = null,
    ValidTo = null
});

var deviceDTCEvent =  client.GetDeviceEventDTCById(1138213);

Publish Subscribe Methods

Note: Currentley in alpha.

Publish subscribe mimics a message queuing system that allows you to create subscribers that whenever a message is published will repost the message to your endpoint. The publish subscribe framework is more resilient compared to simpler web hooks (that are available as part of our notifications) and allows for anonymous, basic, bearer and Salesforce specific authentication. It also allows for configurable retries and also extends to cover modification and creation of certain objects.

Publish subscribe guranteee that messages received have been fully processed in Automile's microservice architecture which means you can assume all properties have been set and calculated.

All published messages contains two common properties called PublishMessageType and PublishMessageDateTimeUtc.

PublishMessageType will contain information what kind of message you are receiving:

• TripStartMessage = 0,
• TripEndMessage = 1,
• VehicleModified = 2,
• VehicleCreated = 3,
• DriverModified = 4,
• DriverCreated = 5

PublishMessageDateTimeUtc is the date and time (UTC) when the message was published.

Get all publish subscribe records

var publishSubscribeRecords =  client.GetPublishSubscribe();

Get details about a specific publish subscribe record

var detailsPublishSubscribeRecord =  client.GetPublishSubscribeById(1);

Create a new subscription with anonymous authentication (several overloads available)

var newSubscription = client.CreatePublishSubscribe("http://requestb.in/pwimfapw");

Edit a subscription (pointing to an endpoint requiring basic authentication)

var newSubscription = client.CreatePublishSubscribe("http:/your_basic_auth_endpoint", 
new PublishSubscribeAuthenticationData_Basic() 
{
Username = "username",
Password = "password"
});

Delete a subscription (will also delete queued messages)

client.DeletePublishSubscribe(1);
