openapi: 3.1.0

  title: Telemax External API (V1)
  version: '2026-04-14'
  description: >
    Telemax External API — fleet telemetry, vehicle commands, and integrations.


    **Base URL:** `https://api.telemax.com.au`


    **Authentication:** All routes require a `Bearer` JWT unless marked
    `[AllowAnonymous]`.

    Obtain tokens via `/api/Authentication/token/api-key` or
    `/api/Authentication/token/user`.


    **POST-first architecture:** Almost all data endpoints use `POST` with
    query-string parameters.

    The two exceptions using `GET` are `GetDeviceId` and `GET
    /api/devices/{id}/dtc-codes`.


    **API versioning:** All responses will include an `X-API-Version` header
    containing the

    date-based version string (e.g. `2026-04-14`). See the
    [Changelog](/v1/changelog) for

    the deprecation policy and version history.

    quirks, see [docs.telemax.com.au](https://docs.telemax.com.au).

        **Lifetime:** ~24 hours (86,399 seconds). Cache the token and reuse it.
        Re-authenticate 5 minutes before expiry.


        **Scoping:**

        - User tokens are scoped to a single company.

        - API key tokens may restrict access to a vehicle allowlist and/or
        action set (see token claims).


        **No refresh endpoint** — re-authenticate with your credentials when the
        token expires.
