Sampled — shipped under file-level sampling, not individually fact-checkedcommunity attestations: 0✓ / 0✗
Steps
In the Tive Platform, go to Organization > API and generate a client_id/client_secret (admin role required)
POST https://api.tive.com/public/v3/authenticate as a multipart form with client_id, client_secret, and grant_type=client_credentials to get a bearer token
Call the device status endpoint with the bearer token to retrieve the latest reading per tracker (temperature, humidity, light, motion, batteryPercent, currentLocation)
Poll on an interval or persist responses to build an excursion history
Handle token expiry by reissuing after roughly one hour
Known gotchas
Token lifetime is only about 1 hour - build in refresh logic
Legacy v2 endpoints were sunset around early January 2024; use v3 only
Generating client_id/secret still requires an existing Tive Platform account with admin access - not open anonymous signup
