Steps
Authenticate every request with an Authorization: Bearer header using a key issued by Whip Around.
Use the defect endpoint (part of the v4.0 RESTful API, alongside separate inspection, asset, work order, and driver endpoints) to create, retrieve, update, or delete defect records.
Send request bodies as JSON when creating or updating a defect, matching the API's JSON request/response format.
Use standard HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) against the defect endpoint depending on the operation needed.
After each call, check the HTTP status code (200/201 = success, anything else = error) and read the JSON error message on failure to determine the cause.
Treat defects as related to, but a separate resource from, inspections and work orders — reconcile records across endpoints rather than assuming one call returns everything.
Known gotchas
The public docs describe the defect endpoint only at a high level (create/update/delete); no field-by-field schema is published, so confirm exact request/response fields via a live/sandbox call before automating.
No documented rate limits or pagination behavior — do not assume defaults without confirming with Whip Around.
Getting API access requires contacting Whip Around directly rather than a self-serve developer portal signup.
