api_get_vehicle_parameter_valuestoken required
Returns telemetry parameter values (`telemetry.unit_parameter`) for a vehicle in a time window of up to 72 hours.
/api— body field action.name = "api_get_vehicle_parameter_values"Parameters
| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
vehicle_id | number | optional | Vehicle id. Required if `license_nmbr` is not provided.e.g. 555 |
license_nmbr | string | optional | License plate. `License_NMBR` is also accepted as an alias. Required if `vehicle_id` is not provided.e.g. AB-123-CD |
param_type | string | optional | Optional parameter-type code to filter on. If omitted, all types are returned.e.g. speed |
start_time | date | required | Start of the time window (inclusive).e.g. 2026-04-26T00:00:00Z |
end_time | date | required | End of the time window (exclusive). Must be after `start_time` and within 72 hours.e.g. 2026-04-27T00:00:00Z |
interval | number | optional | Sampling interval in seconds. Thins the returned series to one value per interval.e.g. 60 |
Pagination
This action is paginated. The two parameters below are accepted on every call (both optional); omitting them yields page 1 with 100 rows. The response carries a pagination envelope alongside data; iterate while has_more === true.
page, page_size and has_more are present on every paginated response. total_count and total_pages are returned only by some actions — treat them as optional and drive iteration from has_more rather than from a page count worked out in advance.
| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
page_number | number | optional | 1-based page index. Defaults to 1 if omitted. Page 1 pins a snapshot for stateful actions (events, telemetry) — subsequent pages reuse that snapshot until the session expires (~30 minutes).e.g. 1 |
page_size | number | optional | Rows per page. Defaults to 2000, which is also the maximum — larger values are silently capped to 2000, and a response of exactly 2000 rows usually means there are more pages. For stateful actions (events, telemetry) only the value sent with page 1 is honored, because later pages reuse the size pinned by the snapshot; stateless actions read it on every request.e.g. 2000 |
# Iterate every page until pagination.has_more is false.
# page_size "100" is a deliberate small page so the loop is visible — the
# default is 2000, which is also the maximum. Raise it to fetch fewer,
# larger pages; you still stop on has_more either way.
# Requires: jq (https://stedolan.github.io/jq/).

}Response
Successful responses always wrap the action's payload in response.properties. The action_value field reports the handler outcome: "0" for success, "1" for invalid params, "2" for not allowed, "3" for limit-exceeded /pagination-session-expired, "999" for general error.
