• Navixy Generic Protocol (NGP) v1.0: Navixy has launched its proprietary protocol that is central to the upcoming IoT Logic product and enhances communication between IoT devices/IoT gateways and Navixy, as well as third-party applications. We have also prepared the specification for the upcoming version of NGP 1.1a. Key features include:

- Universal data format
Manufacturers can send data to Navixy in a universal format, simplifying and streamlining device integrations for greater adaptability.
- Server-to-server communication
NGP enables smooth data transmission between Navixy and external servers, supporting communication with third-party applications effectively.
- HTTPS/ MQTT support
NGP supports HTTPS 1.1/2.0 and MQTT 3.1.1/5.0, offering flexible connectivity options for different IoT setups and needs.
- Custom attributes
The protocol allows users to define and specify custom parameters for sensors using the “Use custom parameter” option, supporting advanced telematics use cases across virtual and measurement sensors.

• New API Calls for tracker output management

get_outputs: retrieve existing output names for a single tracker.
batch_get_outputs: retrieve output names from multiple trackers in a single call.
output/update: update or rename an output for a single tracker.

• Refactored Documentation

User Interface API
All API documentation related to the web user interface is now organized under the main menu section User Interface API for improved navigation. Key sections include:
- Raw IoT Data API
- Backend API
- Frontend API
- Eco Fleet API

Admin Panel API
Panel API was renamed to Admin Panel API. This restructuring ensures that Admin Panel API methods are distinct from web UI APIs, making it easier for customers to locate the relevant information they need.

Raw IoT Data API - Name update: the Data Warehouse is now renamed Raw IoT Data API for clarity and consistency.
- Parquet format support: you can now request Raw IoT Data in the Parquet format — ideal for Big Data solutions based on Apache, enabling faster and more efficient data processing. A video tutorial is available for requesting these files from Linux systems.
- Enhanced descriptions: improved documentation for raw data methods, including detailed parameter information, responses, and examples.

User authentication guides Comprehensive authentication guides are now available to support leveraging user interface APIs effectively.
