  • Boolean ignition status
• Latitude
• Longitude
• SpeedGPS
  • km/h
• UnitPlate
  • License plate
• Altitude
  • Meters
• Course
  • Direction vehicle is heading, for example: N,S,E,O,NO,NE,SO,SE
• DeviceID
  • IMEI
• NumSat
  • Number of GNSS satellites the device is utilizing
• Odometer
  • Traveled distance in km

Navixy Web Service Configuration

Setting up

A Retranslation management screen should look similar to the following, with the Navixy Web Service login and password. Make sure the "Enabled" button is checked and click the "Save" button to complete the process.

Next, the retranslator will need to be linked to the device. To do so, select the “Link”

button in the data forwarding widget. Select the retranslator to be connected, and click “Link” below.

Select the retranslator to be connected, and click “Link”.

External ID is not needed for the Navixy Web Service protocol.

Select “Save” once completed.

External access:

Required Parameters

• Login and Password
  • This should match what was input above
• deviceIDs
  • Max of 100
• startDate and endDate
  • The following is an example for September 9, 2022 12am UTC to 11:59:59
  • UTC: 2022-09-01T00:00:00Z to 2022-09-01T11:59:59Z

The description of the protocol in WSDL can be found below, relating to where the server is located:

EU https://soap.navixy.com/LocationDataService?wsdl

US https://soap.us.navixy.com/LocationDataService?wsdl

A SOAP request must be made utilizing one of the above WSDL pages. The XML request itself is as follows, replaced with the associated information:

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:tem="http://tempuri.org">

   <soapenv:Header>

   <tem:authentication>

     <login>username</login>

     <password>password</password>

   </tem:authentication>

   </soapenv:Header>

   <soapenv:Body>

   <tem:dataRequest>

      <!--1 to 100 repetitions:-->

      <deviceIds>IMEI of device</deviceIds>

      <startDate>2022-08-30T00:00:00Z</startDate>

      <endDate>2022-08-31T00:00:00Z</endDate>

   </tem:dataRequest>

   </soapenv:Body>

</soapenv:Envelope>

An example response may look something like this:

      <result>

         <dateGps>2022-08-30T00:02:55.000Z</dateGps>

         <ignition>false</ignition>

         <latitude>75.9270866</latitude>

         <longitude>-85.5207616</longitude>

         <speedGps>0.0</speedGps>

         <unitPlate>ss3ssj</unitPlate>

         <altitude>284.0</altitude>

         <course>E</course>

         <deviceId>866258048802349</deviceId>

         <numSat>15</numSat>

         <odometer>59845</odometer>

      </result>

Managing

To edit or stop data being forwarded, please refer to the following steps:

To stop the data forwarding, click the “Trash” button.

In order to verify and test your SOAP request to the platform, it is suggested to use SoapUI which can be found here: https://www.soapui.org/downloads/soapui/

1. Install Soap UI
2. From the file menu, select “New SOAP Project”
3. Paste the correct path into the WSDL field according to the server and select “Create sample requests for all operations?”
