Do you mean "without the need for any scripts"?

Dean Parry6 years ago

yes that is what i thought had been added to the latest code which has not been released yet... i obviously got my wires crossed and expected more

Anton Tananaev6 years ago

Then what is going to parse it?.. if not some script or application.

Dean Parry6 years ago

i have a 3rd party app that can scrape data... it works on all pages except for the traccar api/positions api/devices due to the login/password situation it can do basic webpage authentication but nothing more

Dean Parry6 years ago

i just need to see a payload using a simple url without the need for authentication locally

Anton Tananaev6 years ago

You can use basic authentication with Traccar API.

Am I understanding correctly that you were talking about pulling the data from the beginning? Forwarding (or pushing) data is something completely different.

Dean Parry6 years ago

i thought that was browser specific? and i have a horrible feeling this app will not work with it! i assume you mean the likes of http://test:test@ip/api/devices

Anton Tananaev6 years ago

Basic auth is a standard and it's not browser specific:

yeah tried that and even tried encoding some of the url as my username was my email... also tried creating a user without special characters with admin rights... like i said before 'lost cause' i am not IT literate enough to pursue it further

thanks anyway

I want to give a follow-up on this topic. The topic title doesn't say anything about the API, but I've made a vb.NET script for using in Homeseer3. It will grab dynamically from 1 device (till now), and create virtual devices from it. Including Google Maps, Google Streetview (API necessarry) and a lot of other interesting devices. More information, see my blog post: https://www.rutg3r.com/gps-data-traccar-homeseer/
