Live trip pages, as an API

Give every ride a live link.

Your dispatch system already knows where the vehicle is. Send us its location and any driver updates. We host the page your riders share with family, guests and the public.

How it works

Three endpoints. No front end to build.

01
Create a trip

One call when the booking starts. You get a trip ID and a shareable link.

POST /v1/trips
02
Stream locations

Send coordinates from the driver app as often as you like. We smooth, store and broadcast them.

POST /v1/trips/{id}/locations
03
Push updates

Drivers or dispatch can post text and photos. Followers see them in the trip feed.

POST /v1/trips/{id}/updates
The trip page

One link. Map, ETA and the driver’s own words.

Followers open the link in any browser. No app to install. They see where the vehicle is, when it arrives, and what the driver just posted.

  • Live vehicle marker, route ahead and ETA
  • Driver updates in text and photos, in order
  • Your logo and colours on every page
  • Opens in any browser, on any phone

Built for

Anyone who isn’t in the car.

Riders and drivers have your app. Everyone else gets a link that opens in any browser, branded as you.

Chauffeur & limo

Send the pickup link to the executive assistant and the airport greeter at once.

Tours & excursions

Families at home follow the picnic tour, with photos from every stop.

Corporate shuttles

A public page per route that employees can bookmark.

Event transport

Guests see exactly when the next shuttle reaches the venue.

For developers

If you can send a POST, you’re done.

REST endpoints, API keys per environment, and webhooks when followers open a link. Typical integration takes an afternoon.
