POST
Retrieve the current real-time location and status of members. This endpoint provides a lightweight response focused on location data, unlike /getaccounts which returns complete member profiles.

​
REQUEST

Locate specific members by UID or username:
Or locate all members in specific teams:
​
object
Object with member UIDs or usernames as keys. Each key maps to an empty object {}.Use this to locate specific members.Example: {"worker1uid": {}, "worker2@example.com": {}}
​
array
Array of team numbers (integers) to locate all members in those teams.Alternative to accounts for team-based location retrieval.
  • If array is provided with team numbers: Returns members from those specific teams
  • If array is empty: Returns no team-selected members
  • If omitted: Only members explicitly listed in accounts are returned
  • To locate all company employees, send teams as a non-array value such as true
Example: [1, 2, 5]
​
boolean
default:false
Include reverse-geocoded address for each location.
  • true: Adds address field with human-readable address
  • false: No address field (faster response)
​
boolean
default:false
Include detailed device and connection information.
  • true: Adds device fields like connection_type, android_id, loc_gps_on, tracking_status
  • false: Basic location data only
​
string
Optional signal command to send to devices.
  • "ping": Sends a ping signal to all devices, requesting them to update their location immediately
  • Devices that are online with internet connection will respond with fresh location data
  • signal_ts in response shows when device last received a ping

​
RESPONSE

​
integer
required
Status code. 0 indicates success.
​
array
required
Array of location objects, one per member. Each contains:Core Identity:
  • uid (string): Member unique identifier
  • usr (string): Username/email
  • name (string): Full name
  • email (string): Email address
  • phone (string): Phone number
  • teams (array): Array of team objects with name and number
Location Data:
  • lat (double): Latitude
  • lng (double): Longitude
  • ts (long): Location timestamp in milliseconds (Unix epoch)
  • acc (integer): GPS accuracy in meters
  • dir (integer): Direction heading (0-360 degrees)
  • spd (integer): Speed in km/h (-1 if unknown)
  • elv (integer): Elevation/altitude
  • bat (integer): Battery level percentage (0-100)
Optional Fields (withAddress: true):
  • address (string): Reverse-geocoded street address
Optional Fields (withDetails: true):
  • connection_type (integer): Device internet connection type
  • android_id (string): Android device identifier
  • loc_gps_on (boolean): GPS enabled on device
  • loc_net_on (boolean): Network location enabled
  • tracking_status (boolean): HelloTracks tracking enabled
  • signal_ts (long): Timestamp of last ping signal received

​
Use Cases

Fleet Tracking: Monitor real-time positions of all field workers to optimize dispatching and provide customer ETAs. Team Location: View locations of specific team members working in a particular zone or on specific projects. Live Map Display: Build a live map dashboard showing current positions of all active workers. Ping for Updates: Request immediate location updates from devices by adding "signal": "ping" parameter.

​
Examples

Timestamps: All timestamps are in milliseconds since Unix epoch (January 1, 1970 UTC). This is the standard Java/JavaScript timestamp format.
Ping Signal: When using "signal": "ping", only devices that are currently online with internet connectivity will respond with updated location. Offline devices will not update.
Performance: For frequent location polling, use this endpoint instead of /getaccounts as it returns a lighter payload focused on location data.
