Track
A tracker's movement over a period, as trips with totals, as raw points, or as a KML file.
A track is what a tracker did over a period: where it went, how far, and how fast. These operations return that movement as trips with totals, as the raw points behind them, or as a KML file for a mapping tool.
What comes back from track/list depends on three switches. split decides whether the period is broken into separate trips or returned as one merged track. cluster_single_reports groups one-point trips by coordinate into cluster tracks. filter drops tracks judged too short by length and point count. The type on each track tells you which of those produced it.
These operations take tracker IDs directly. To get the same data for an asset, whose device can change over the period, use asset tracks instead. For a worked example, see how to get track points.
Track object
The object returned in track/list's list. Which fields are present depends on type.
norm_fuel_consumed is present only when a vehicle object is linked to the tracker and has normAvgFuelConsumption defined.
Track totals object
Point object
The point object returned by track/read, and by track/list in each track's points_list.
Whether a point counts as trip or as parking is decided by the Navixy platform's parking detection settings.
API actions
API base path: /track.
The file carries speed and heading as extended data on each placemark:
A request reaching further back than the device's plan retains, six months of data on a plan that stores three, returns JSON instead of a file:
Return the tracker's points over a period as a KML or KMZ file, for opening in another mapping application.
The response is the file itself, not a JSON envelope. The one exception is when the tracker's plan does not reach back far enough to cover any of the requested period, in which case a JSON body comes back with limit_exceeded set and an empty list.
Either a user session hash or an API key, with the "NVX " prefix, for example "NVX 22eac1c27af4be7b9d04da2ce1af111b". Obtain a session hash from the userAuth operation, or create an API key from the API keys operations. A small number of operations accept a session hash only and reject an API key with error code 4; each says so in its description.
ID of the tracker, also known as the object ID. Must belong to the current account and not be blocked.
Start of the period, in YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS format, in the account's timezone.
2026-08-24 09:00:00End of the period, in YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS format. Must be after from.
2026-08-24 09:00:00Optional. Include only these tracks. Omit to include every valid point in the period. No duplicates.
Optional. Default true. When false and no track_ids are given, GSM LBS points are excluded.
Optional. Default true. Reduce the number of points in the file.
Optional. Reduce the result to about this many points. Not a hard limit: the result can hold slightly more. Omit to use the platform's own simplification settings.
Optional. Default true. Filter the points, which currently affects LBS tracks only.
Optional. Default kml. File format.
Optional. Default false. When true, the file groups tracks into folders split by stops, each with start and end markers.
The track as a KML or KMZ file
The KML document.
Bad request. The response body carries the API-level error code in status.code. Validation failures also include an errors array naming each offending parameter.
Error 208: the tracker exists but is blocked, normally because its tariff ended. Error 211: the period between from and to exceeds the maximum the platform allows. Unlike the same code on track/visit/list, this one carries no max_time_span.

These errors come in addition to the general error codes:
201 - Not found in the database. The tracker ID may match no tracker on the account the session hash belongs to. Check that the
tracker_idand the hash belong to the same user.208 - Device blocked, when the tracker exists on the account but is inactive, whether through tariff restrictions or for another reason.
211 - Requested time span is too big, when the interval between
fromandtoexceeds the maximum the API configuration allows.
Return the tracker's tracks over a period, with totals across all of them.
What comes back depends on three switches. split decides whether the period is broken into separate trips or returned as one merged track. cluster_single_reports groups one-point trips by coordinate into cluster tracks. filter drops tracks judged too short by length and point count.

Visits
track/visit/list answers a different question from the operations above: not where the tracker went, but which of the account's geofences and places it was inside during the period.
Return the IDs of the geofences and places that contain at least one of the tracker's points in the period.
Both lists come back empty when the account has no geofences and no places, and each is empty when its include_ switch is false.
This call has its own period limit, separate from the one the other track calls use, and it is usually shorter.
