MiX Integrate Glossary

Application programming interface (API) - In computer programming, an application programming interface is a set of subroutine definitions, communication protocols, and tools for building software. In general terms, it is a set of clearly defined methods of communication among various components. As part of MiX Integrate APIs, telematics data such as asset and driver description, vehicle positional, trip and event data can be obtain via this interface.

Data Feed – A mechanism to stream high volume real time trip, event or positional data in comparison with requesting this data from APIs.

OAUTH2 - OAuth 2 is an authorization framework that enables applications to obtain limited access to user accounts. It works by delegating user authentication to the service that hosts the user account, and authorizing third-party applications to access the user account. From a MiX Integrate API perspective, this means applications will be registered and the MiX Fleet Manager user account will authorise the data based on the account permissions set.
