API clients

An API client gives your application or automation tool its own credentials to access the INVERS API. Use these credentials to request vehicle data and send commands — for example, from within an n8n, Make, or Power Automate workflow.

Create a separate API client for each application or tool. To access this feature, go to Developers > API Clients in FleetControl.

Note

If you’re setting up an automation tool to send commands or query data, see Connect your automation tool. If you want to receive vehicle events rather than make requests, see Event consumers. For full technical reference, see the INVERS Developer Docs.

Create an API client

1. Select Add API Client.
2. Enter a name for the client — for example, the name of the tool or workflow using it.
3. Enable the permissions your tool needs. Choose read-only or read & write where applicable. For descriptions of each permission, see the permission guide in the Developer Docs.
4. Select Add to create the API client.

Save the client secret immediately

The client secret is shown only once, right after you create the API client. Copy and store it securely before leaving the page — it cannot be retrieved afterwards. If you lose it, you’ll need to generate a new one, which invalidates the old secret in all tools using it.

Generate a new secret

If you lose a client secret, generate a new one:

1. Select the API client and select the arrow next to the obscured secret field.
2. Select Generate to create a new secret.
3. Copy and save the new secret immediately. Update it in every tool or application that uses this API client.

Edit permissions

To change the permissions for an API client, select it, select Edit in the right panel, toggle the permissions on or off, and select Save.

More actions

To rename or delete an API client, select it and choose … > Edit Name or Delete.
