Geofencing
Offer immediate notifications and enable a wide range of location-based services.
In a nutshell
Unlock the power of real-time location tracking
The Geofencing API allows developers to create applications that can detect when mobile devices enter or leave predefined geographical areas. This innovative API offers immediate notifications and enables a wide range of location-based services.
The API consumer requests a subscription creation by providing:
- the monitored device identifier,
- a geographic area (defined by a circle determined by coordinates and radius) and
- the URL where the notifications will be posted.
While the subscription is active, the consumer will receive a notification (at the URL provided) when the device enters or leaves the area (depending on the event type).
Benefits
Get notified instantly when devices cross geofenced boundaries
Enables real-time alerts whenever a device enters or leaves a designated area, allowing for prompt responses.
Easily define areas with customizable radius settings
Allows users to set and adjust geofence boundaries with flexible radius options to suit specific needs.
Test without physical movement using our network event simulator
Facilitates testing of geofencing scenarios virtually, eliminating the need for actual device movement.
Experiment safely in a controlled lab environment
Provides a secure setting to experiment and refine geofencing configurations without impacting live systems.
