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


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

    Obtain tokens via `POST /v2/api/authentication/token/api-key`.


    **RESTful architecture:** V2 uses standard HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT,
    DELETE) with

    resource-based routes and consistent pagination via `page` and `pageSize`
    query parameters.


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

    date-based version string (e.g. `2026-04-28`). See the
    [Changelog](/v2/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:** API key tokens are scoped to the company the key belongs to
        and may restrict

        access to a vehicle allowlist and/or action set (see token claims).


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