.NET Framework Examples
Notice from Geotab
On September 17, 2022, the current MyAdmin SDK site will be deprecated, and the MyAdmin SDK will be merged with the Geotab SDK site. Please ensure to update your relevant bookmarks as the site will be inaccessible after this date.
Here are a few examples to help you get started. In addition to the examples below, a sample .NET Framework C# project is available for download.
Example 1
The first example is for a console application that authenticates with the MyAdmin API, retrieves a list of device plans, and looks up the details for a specific device.
static void Main(string[] args)
{
WebServerInvoker api = new WebServerInvoker(null, 60000) { Url = "https://myadminapi.geotab.com/v2/MyAdminApi.ashx" };
Dictionary<string, object> parameters = new Dictionary<string, object>
{
{"username", "user@geotab.com"},
{"password", "<password>"}
};
ApiUser apiUser = api.Invoke("Authenticate", typeof (ApiUser), parameters) as ApiUser;
Guid apiKey = apiUser.UserId;
Guid sessionId = apiUser.SessionId;
parameters = new Dictionary<string, object>
{
{"apiKey", apiKey},
{"sessionId", sessionId}
};
ApiDevicePlan[] devicePlans =
api.Invoke("GetDevicePlans", typeof (ApiDevicePlan[]), parameters) as ApiDevicePlan[];
Console.WriteLine("Device Plans");
Console.WriteLine("Level\tName");
foreach (ApiDevicePlan devicePlan in devicePlans)
{
Console.WriteLine("{0}\t{1}", devicePlan.Level, devicePlan.Name);
}
Console.Write("\n\nDevice Information");
parameters = new Dictionary<string, object>
{
{"apiKey", apiKey},
{"sessionId", sessionId},
{"serialNo", "G6XXX0XXXD08"}
};
ApiDeviceInstallResult device =
api.Invoke("LookupDevice", typeof (ApiDeviceInstallResult), parameters) as ApiDeviceInstallResult;
Console.WriteLine("Device Details:");
Console.WriteLine("Firmware Version {0}", device.FirmwareVersion);
Console.WriteLine("Comments: {0}", device.Comments);
Console.WriteLine("Last Server Communication: {0}", device.LastServerCommunication.ToString());
Console.WriteLine("Possible Issues: {0}", device.PossibleIssues);
Console.ReadKey();
}
Example 2:
The second example demonstrates how to create a support ticket with an attachment.
WebServerInvoker api = new WebServerInvoker(null, 60000) { Url = "https://myadminapi.geotab.com/v2/MyAdminApi.ashx" };
Dictionary<string, object> parameters = new Dictionary<string, object>
{
{"username", "user@geotab.com"},
{"password", "<password>"}
};
ApiUser apiUser = api.Invoke("Authenticate", typeof(ApiUser), parameters) as ApiUser;
Guid apiKey = apiUser.UserId;
Guid sessionId = apiUser.SessionId;
parameters = new Dictionary<string, object>
{
{"apiKey", apiKey},
{"sessionId", sessionId}
};
// Read the attachment from the disk
FileStream file = File.Open("C:\\attachment.jpg", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read);
byte[] attachment = new byte[file.Length];
file.Read(attachment, 0, (int)file.Length);
string contentType = "image/jpeg";
parameters = new Dictionary<string, object>
{
{"apiKey", apiKey},
{"sessionId", sessionId},
{"userEmail", "user@geotab.com"},
{"file", attachment},
{"contentType", contentType},
{"fileName", "attachment.jpg"}
};
string fileToken = api.Invoke("UploadSupportTicketFile", typeof(string), parameters) as string;
parameters = new Dictionary<string, object>
{
{"apiKey", apiKey},
{"sessionId", sessionId},
{"userEmail", "user@geotab.com"},
{"subject", "API Example"},
{"description", "This is an example of the API"},
{"fileToken", fileToken}
};
ApiTicket returnTicket = api.Invoke("CreateSupportTicket", typeof(ApiTicket), parameters) as ApiTicket;
Console.WriteLine("New ticket ID: {0}", returnTicket.Id);
Console.ReadKey();
