Samsara provides API endpoints for interacting with Samsara Cloud, so that you can build powerful applications and custom solutions with sensor data. Samsara has endpoints available to track and analyse sensors, vehicles, and entire fleets. The Samsara API is a RESTful API.

If you're familiar with what you can build with a REST API, then this will be your go-to API reference.
