The following examples show common usages of the SDK using JavaScript. We recommend that you examine the examples in the following order to learn more about building great web applications using the Geotab JavaScript API. These examples are stand-alone HTML, JavaScript and CSS written so you can extract them and “run” them without having your own Web server.

You can also use the Runner to run code snippets that you can run directly against a database. The runner has code snippets that demonstrate:

• Adding a driver
• Adding a driver with ‘View Nothing’ clearance
• Bare bones API request
• Calculate vehicle fuel usage
• Create 10 groups and add devices
• Get vehicle location and driving status
• Get vehicle location
• Get DVIR unrepaired defects for last month
• Filtering out invalid position log records
• Find current live address of a driver
• Find the month with longest distance driven
• Get all unbroken exceptions for the last week
• Get the count of stops at a customer (zone)
• Get vehicle speed and posted road speed
• Get the odometer and VIN for all vehicles in a group
• Get zone stop exceptions
• HOS availability search
• Import USA states as zones
• Edit a user
• Change vehicle group and enable in vehicle speed warning
• Replace existing device with new device

Customer Registration

This example illustrates how to create a custom registration page. With this example, you will be able to: determine if a database name is available; register a new database; perform post-registration setup on the new database; send a confirmation email; and redirect a user to the new database. This is an advanced example and is designed for resellers.
