Vehicles/get_unit_general_info

get_unit_general_infotoken required

Returns one row of general info for a single vehicle/unit — identity, client & group, manufacturer/model, latest state, and service/config fields.

Try in playground
POST/api— body field action.name = "get_unit_general_info"

Parameters

NameTypeRequiredDescription
vehicle_idnumberoptionalVehicle id. The resolver tries vehicle_id → inner_id → license_nmbr → vin in that order; supply at least one of the four.e.g. 591723
inner_idstringoptionalUnit inner id (alternative identifier).e.g. 0000000905516028
license_nmbrstringoptionalLicense plate / number.e.g. 17108
vinstringoptionalVehicle VIN.e.g. 3HBBZMMN9VL211016

Notes

Supply at least one identifier (action_value '1' if none provided). action_value '2' = user not allowed / no such vehicle; '3' = more than one vehicle matched (also pass vehicle_id or inner_id to disambiguate); '999' = session/internal. `fuel_used` is the device's cumulative fuel counter, read from the unit header. Still empty on the new side: `configuration_status` and `configuration_description` — these come from the firmware/config process tables and their status reference data, which are not yet loaded into the new platform. `last_communication_time` / `last_location_time` can lag while telemetry catches up.

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.
