Integration Instructions: Step-by-step Guide for Lattis API Implementation

Step 1: Obtain API Credentials
Register for a Lattis API account (if you haven't already).
Obtain your API credentials (username and password).

Step 2: Authentication1
1. Use the login endpoint to authenticate:

POST /login

2. Send your credentials in the request body:
‍

{  "username": "your_username",  "password": "your_password"}

3. Store the returned JWT token securely. You'll need to include this token in the header of subsequent API requests.

Step 3: Make API Requests
1. Include the JWT token in the Authorization header of your requests:
‍

Authorization: Bearer <your_jwt_token>

2. Choose the appropriate endpoint based on your needs. For example, to get a list of vehicles:
‍

GET /fleet/vehicles

Step 4: Handle API Responses
1. Parse the JSON response from the API.
2. Handle both successful responses and potential errors.

Step 5: Implement Error Handling
1. Check for HTTP status codes in the response.
2. Implement appropriate error handling for different status codes (e.g., 400 for bad requests, 401 for unauthorized access, 500 for server errors).
‍
Step 6: Respect Rate Limits
1. Check the API documentation for rate limit information.
2. Implement mechanisms to stay within these limits to avoid being temporarily blocked.

Step 7: Keep Your Integration Up-to-Date
1. Regularly check the Lattis API documentation for updates or changes.
2. Update your integration as necessary to maintain compatibility.

Example: Fetching Vehicle Data
Here's a basic example of how you might fetch vehicle data using JavaScript:
‍

async function getVehicles() {
  try {
    const response = await fetch('https://api.lattis.com/fleet/vehicles', {
      method: 'GET',
      headers: {
        'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + yourJWTToken,
        'Content-Type': 'application/json'
      }
    });

    if (!response.ok) {
      throw new Error(`HTTP error! status: ${response.status}`);
    }

    const data = await response.json();
    console.log('Vehicles:', data);
    return data;
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Error fetching vehicles:', error);
  }
}

Remember to replace 'https://api.lattis.com' with the actual base URL of the Lattis API, and yourJWTToken with the token you received during authentication.
