The JumpDrive API function “getInventoryData” in V2 allows customers and partners to access current vehicle and location data about vehicles using the 2nd generation JD vehicle device.

Getting Started

Our Partner API requires the following to retrieve vehicle fuel and mileage information:

1. API URL, Username and Password (please email partner@jumpdrive.com for API URL and your credentials)
2. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) to get it’s return details.
3. Familiarity with a programming language supporting REST calls (PHP, Ruby, .NET, Python, etc.)

For best results, we recommend querying the API during the check out process on demand.

Steps For Using the API

1. Create a script to call our API URL (will be provided via email upon request) and pass your username, password, VIN and response format.  All results are in XML, for example – getInventoryData(username, password, VIN, ‘xml’) will provide XML formatted results.
2. If you receive the message “Invalid Username and/or Password”, please contact partner@jumpdrive.com and we will confirm your credentials.

Additional Notes

1. If JumpDrive does not read mileage on a specific vehicle, the customer can specify if they want JumpDrive to provide “0” for StartMileage and LastMileage or provide our estimate of the vehicle’s mileage.
2. FuelPercent and FuelVolume are both provided by JumpDrive, using our data source for the fuel tank size.  Since some vehicles provide raw fuel data in Liters and others provide it in Percentage, JumpDrive calculates both values for all vehicles and provides it to customers and partners.
