The limitations of proprietary APIs
Limited
integration flexibility
Closed APIs block connections to third-party tools, forcing teams to build costly custom code.
Fragmented
data silos
Device metrics remain isolated from analytics and compliance tools, delaying real-time decisions and audits.
Vendor
lock-In risks
Closed systems tie you to a single provider, limiting control over your data and complicating future migrations.
Slow, expensive development cycles
Every integration requires weeks of custom engineering (e.g., connectors), slowing down deployments and innovation.
Open APIs for Connectivity and Insights
Whether you’re building custom applications, integrating with enterprise systems, or need data for AI, our API provides access to current and historical error messages, sensor data and fleet statistics.
Manage thousands
of devices
Communicate with IoT devices, gateways, or sensors via REST/GraphQL APIs. Oversee fleets via web dashboards, or third-party tools.
Create customer-
ready IoT Apps
Build white-label apps for for end customers and technicians. Access live sensor data, error logs, and fleet health metrics for app development.
Automate workflows
& build apps
Use APIs to trigger actions and set automation rules. Build your own applications on top of DRIVR using real-time device data.
Unified API for device management
Programmatic device lifecycle control: Register, configure, or update devices via code.
Dynamic metadata management: Organize device hierarchies, tags, and connectivity settings for fleets.
Advanced queries: Fetch device status, historical logs, or relationships using GraphQL for granular insights.
Real-time
data retrieval & processing
Raw and aggregated data access: Pull live sensor metrics, telemetry, or event logs for dashboards or AI/ML models.
AI/ML-ready data streams: Feed live or historical data into analytics tools or custom models.
Custom reporting: Export data for compliance audits or performance benchmarking.
Secure authentication & authorization
Enterprise-grade permissions management: Assign roles (e.g., “Technicians: read-only”, “Admins: full control”).
Multi-tenant data isolation: Ensure customers, partners only see their assigned devices.
Legacy Auth compatibility: Integrate with Active Directory, Okta, or on-prem systems without infrastructure changes.
What is DRIVR’s open APIs?
DRIVR’s Open API allows you to connect, manage, and integrate IoT devices. It provides flexible access to real-time and historical data while supporting scalable integrations with third-party systems.
What APIs are available?
Our IoT platform supports three types of APIs: MQTT, GraphQL, and REST. Each offers unique benefits for different use cases.
We offer comprehensive documentation for MQTT, GraphQL, and REST APIs, including endpoints, data formats, and usage examples.
When should I use MQTT?
Use MQTT for real-time, low-latency communication, especially in IoT applications. It's ideal for scenarios requiring efficient data streaming and device-to-cloud communication.
What are the benefits of using GraphQL?
GraphQL offers flexibility in data fetching, allowing clients to request exactly the data they need. It's particularly useful for complex data requirements and minimizing over-fetching or under-fetching of data.
How does API choice affect performance?
MQTT enables real-time device-to-cloud messaging, GraphQL optimizes data queries to prevent over-fetching, and REST simplifies standard integrations with lightweight, cacheable requests
