Your device is now reporting its data to the HERE Tracking API. The next step is accessing that reported data.

Retrieve device data from the HERE Tracking API

Prerequisites

• The trackingId of a virtual device that has been claimed to a user project and has sent data to the HERE Tracking API

User login

Login the user into the HERE Tracking API and obtain an accessToken.

Retrieve the device shadow

Send a GET request to the shadows endpoint:

curl -X GET \
  'https://{tcHost}/shadows/v2/{trackingId}' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer {accessToken}' \
  -H 'content-type: application/json'

This will return the device's most recent reported and desired shadows.

Retrieve the device trace

Send a GET request to the traces endpoint. A number of traces to be retrieved can be specified in the optional query parameter count.

curl -X GET \
  'https://{tcHost}/traces/v2/{trackingId}?count=5' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer {accessToken}' \
  -H 'content-type: application/json'

This will return the device's trace.
