Fleet Insights API Docs
The Fleet Insights API is an endpoint allowing you to access your ship performance data online and on demand. The ways in which the API is used are entirely up to you; possibilities include custom dashboards and integration with customer ERP systems.
Powerful benefits
Integrate
Easily access your ship performance data while we handle the hassle of transferring it to the FLeet Insights-cloud datastore.
Analyze
Use your preferred analysis tools to gain new insights.
Customize
Create custom views that meet your information needs.
Innovate
Combine data from the Fleet Insights API with other data sources and use it to innovate!
Technical overview
Communication protocol and data format
Communication with the API uses the HTTPS protocol. The data is transferred as structured text in the JSON format.
Security
Data communication uses the HTTPS protocol which offers authentication of the API as well as encryption, and protection against man-in-the-middle attacks, eavesdropping and data tampering attempts.
Each API user is provided with a set of security credentials (client id and password). The credentials are required when making requests from the API, so that each user can be identified and authenticated; ensuring that they have access to only their own data. Without the appropriate security credentials, no third-party be able to access the data. If a user should inadvertently reveal their security credentials, it is straightforward to revoke the existing credentials and issue a replacement set.
Data storage
The data behind the API is stored in a secure data center which holds the data for all Danelec’s customers. No customer has direct access to the data center; all access occurs via the API. Direct access to the data center is available only to designated Danelec employees and data center infrastructure personnel.
Technical requirements
The API provides a specific method for one computer system to talk with another. As such, some development effort will be required on the customers part to integrate their existing computer system(s) with the Fleet Insights API. The API has been designed to be generic enough to meet all anticipated customer needs.
The following requirements must be met:
- The client system must have online access to the API (https://fleet-insights.com/api/v1).
- The client system must be able to make custom HTTP requests to both send and receive JSON data.
The development of any client system is the customers responsibility. However, Danelec can provide assistance to IT/software developers in the form of technical support and example code.
Limitations
To ensure that all customers receive an optimum service, Danelec may place performance limitations on the API service.
Limitations may include (but not be limited to):
- Rate limits (restrictions upon the frequency of consecutive requests).
- Entity limits (restrictions upon the volume of data returned for a single query).
