Steps
Register an application in the Motive Developer Portal and complete the OAuth 2.0 authorization flow to get a scoped access token for the fleet's account.
Call the HOS/driver logs endpoints to retrieve duty status changes, available drive time, and violation flags for each driver.
Call the vehicle location/telematics endpoints for current GPS position and trip history, using api.gomotive.com as the base host.
Use webhook subscriptions where available to get pushed HOS or location events instead of polling, for time-sensitive dispatch use cases.
Request only the OAuth scopes your integration needs (e.g., read-only HOS vs. read/write dispatch), since Motive access tokens are scope-limited per the marketplace app registration.
Known gotchas
Motive rebranded from KeepTruckin; older documentation, SDKs, and the legacy api.keeptruckin.com hostname still reference the old name and can cause confusion during setup.
HOS data carries FMCSA compliance weight — treat it as a regulated data source and don't cache or transform duty-status values client-side in ways that could misrepresent a driver's actual logs.
Publishing an app to the Motive Marketplace requires a separate partner review/certification step beyond just having working API credentials.
