Steps
Obtain MyGeotab database credentials, typically provisioned with GO device/IOX-COLD hardware or a Geotab-provided demo database
Authenticate against the MyGeotab API to establish a session against your database
Call GetFeed with a StatusData or DeviceStatusInfo search scoped to Diagnostics to sync status records
Look up the correct Diagnostic ID for temperature in your database's Diagnostic list, since StatusData.Data is diagnostic-ID-driven rather than a fixed temperature field
Filter StatusData by that Diagnostic ID and read Data, DateTime, and Device for each reading
Respect GetFeed's rate limit (60 requests/min) and 180-second timeout when polling
Known gotchas
Temperature is not a dedicated field - it's exposed generically through the Diagnostic type system, so you must resolve the right Diagnostic ID per database/hardware first
Reefer integration depends on hardware: Thermo King units flow through Geotab's TracKing cloud integration, other reefers need the IOX-COLD harness
MyGeotab access is tied to a database account normally provisioned with GO device hardware, not an anonymous open signup
