Samsara: capabilities and data access
The API lists engine runtime, cumulative fuel consumption, faults and odometer readings. ECU availability varies by vehicle; GPS-derived odometer and ECU measurements need distinct mappings. Engine state alone is not a cumulative idle-hours field.
Planning your connection
Confirm supported machines, account permissions, accessible fields, and any subscription requirements with the vendor. Vendor capabilities do not establish an active goAardvark connector; review availability, field mapping, and delivery timing with the goAardvark team.
