What it is and what it does
MyGeotab is a Python SDK client for Geotab's fleet management platform. It wraps the MyGeotab REST API with automatic serialization/deserialization, offering both synchronous and async/await interfaces for querying vehicle devices, telemetry, and other fleet entities. The library handles authentication, session management, and provides a command-line tool (myg) for interactive exploration.
Typical use involves instantiating an API client with credentials, calling authenticate(), then using get(), add(), update(), or remove() methods to interact with Geotab entities. The package includes a CLI tool for exploring data interactively and managing saved sessions. It depends on requests, urllib3, aiohttp for HTTP transport, arrow and pytz for timezone-aware date handling, and python-rapidjson for fast JSON serialization.
Use it for
- Retrieve vehicle device data and telemetry from a Geotab fleet management account programmatically.
- Build automated reports or dashboards that pull live or historical GPS and diagnostic data from tracked vehicles.
- Integrate Geotab fleet data into third-party applications or data pipelines using the async interface.
- Explore and debug Geotab API responses interactively using the myg command-line console.
- Batch update vehicle properties or manage device configurations across a fleet.
