This is just a quick guide on how you could send data to fleet-track.org using a python script

Step 1. Got the vars?

vars the you will need to change

token = "0000000000000000000000000000"  # fleet-track.org token 
vehicle_name = "Toyota"  # device name
auth_user = "12423"  # fleet-track.org auth_user

Step 2. Python

Up to date version here, feel free to contribute :)

Python Push example: https://github.com/LukeKeam/fleet-track.org-python/blob/main/push.py

import requests

def post_to_server():
    try:
        token = "0000000000000000000000000000"  # fleet-track.org token 
        vehicle_name = "Toyota"  # device name
        auth_user = "12423"  # fleet-track.org auth_user
        utc = "2021-01-03 08:11:20"
        latitude = ""
        longitude = ""
        speed = ""
        vehicle_move_stop = ""
        vehicle_move_start = ""
        alert = ""
        # combined
        payload = '{{"vehicle_name":"{0}", "utc":"{1}" , "latitude":"{2}", "longitude":"{3}", ' \
                  '"speed":"{4}", "vehicle_move_stop":"{5}", "vehicle_move_start":"{6}", ' \
                  '"alert":"{7}"}}'.format(vehicle_name, utc, latitude, longitude, speed, vehicle_move_stop,
                                             vehicle_move_start, alert)
        data_to_send = payload
        url = 'https://api.fleet-track.org/gps/'
        # send data
        ssn = requests.Session()

        # test
        headers = {'content-type': 'application/json', 'Authorization': 'Token {0}'.format(token), 'user': 'Toyota'}
        r = ssn.post(url, data=data_to_send, headers=headers)
        print("Status code", r.status_code)  # 200 is ok, 524 timeout, 400 bad request, 413 payload too large
        print('Posted and completed')
        print('')
        ssn.close()
    except Exception as e:
        print('post_to_server except', e)

Step 3. Kick ass

Done! and kick some ass
