Endpoints

API requests can be sent to any of the following endpoints. Developers can choose the endpoint that’s geographically closer to their servers for minimal latency.

Region 1: US East (Northern Virginia)
https://us1.unwiredlabs.com/v2/<specific_api_endpoint>

Region 2: US West (San Francisco)
https://us2.unwiredlabs.com/v2/<specific_api_endpoint>

Region 3: Europe (France)
https://eu1.unwiredlabs.com/v2/<specific_api_endpoint>

Region 4: Asia Pacific (Singapore)
https://ap1.unwiredlabs.com/v2/<specific_api_endpoint>

Geolocation

The Geolocation API helps developers locate IoT, M2M and other connected devices anywhere in the world without GPS. The device first sends the API data about which Cellular networks and WiFi networks it can see nearby. The API then uses Unwired Labs’ large datasets of Cell towers, WiFi networks backed by numerous algorithms to calculate and return the device’s location.

Usage

curl --request POST \

"address":"High Line Canal Trail, Littleton, Douglas County, Colorado, 80129, United States of America"
}

The response will be a JSON object.

Parameter Description
status If the request is successful, ok is returned. Otherwise error is returned
message Any additional information from the server is returned here
balance This represents the remaining balance on the API token. Requests that return error are not charged and do not affect balance.
balance_slots This represents the remaining balance of device slots. Requests that return error are not charged and do not affect balance. If -1 is returned, then observe it as an error while calculating slots balance. This element will only exist if you are on a device plan.
lat The latitude representing the location
lon The longitude representing the location
accuracy The accuracy of the position is returned in meters
address The physical address of the location
address_details The physical address of the location broken into sub-components. Read more
aged Shown when the location is based on a single measurement or those older than 90 days or is an LAC fallback
fallback Shown when the location is based on a fallback. Possible options include ipf, lacf, scf.

Address Details

The API only returns components that have valid values for a location. Component town is normalized to city to make things simple. For more granular control, please use our Geocoding service - LocationIQ.

Components that would be returned are:

Errors

{
   "status": "error",
   "message": "error_message",
   "balance": 0

Possible return values for message when status is error by category

Authentication error

Geocoding

Forward Geocoding

Forward Geocoding is when you need to convert addresses (like a street address) into geographic coordinates (like latitude and longitude). You can then use these coordinates to do a number of things such as place markers on a map, calculate the distance between your office and those coordinates, send a drone over to that location, and so on.

Maps

Unwired Maps offers world-wide Street and Satellite maps. Our map tiles can be rendered by most open-source libraries. We recommend that you use Mapbox’s open-source GL javascript library for web projects and their iOS and Android SDKs for mobile projects to render our map tiles. Quick start with Mapbox >

If you need to support older browsers (IE 9 and older), you should Leaflet instead. Quick start with Leaflet >

Tile Urls

You can include our map tiles in your favourite mapping library with these URLs. If you’d like to read about integrating our map tiles with Leaflet or Mapbox GL JS libraries, read on.

Street maps in local languages

Street maps in English (when available)
https://{s}-tiles.unwiredmaps.com/v2/obk-en/r/{z}/{x}/{y}.png?key={Your_Access_Token}

Errors

All errors - authentication, invalid tile URLs, etc - will return JSON along with a corresponding HTTP codes in the header:

Error message HTTP Response code Description
Invalid Request 400 Required parameters are missing, or invalid
Invalid key 401 An invalid API key was provided

Imagery not found 404 No tile available for the specified url
Unknown error - Please try again after some time 500 This is an error on the server’s side, we monitor this 24x7 and you should try again.

Desktop Maps with Mapbox GL

We’ve added demos & code-samples for most popular use-cases here.

Desktop Maps with Leaflet

The raster maps below are rendered by the popular and open-source LeafletJS library. We’ve included a quick-start guide which will get you started on basics, including setting up a basic map, working with markers, polylines and popups, and dealing with events. For further reading, we recommend the comprehensive LeafletJS documentation.

Before writing any code for the map, you need to do the following preparation steps on your page:

Now you’re ready to initialize the map and do some stuff with it.

For more advanced configurations and options, please refer to Leaflet’s documentation.

Mobile SDKs

For mobile platforms, there are again 2 libraries you can use:

Mapbox-gl Native SDK

For everything other than the most basic Android apps, you should use the Mapbox SDKs. We’ve created sample apps using these SDKs for both Android & iOS show-casing use-cases popular among our customers:

Balance

The Balance API provides a count of request credits left in the user’s account for the day. Balance is reset at midnight UTC everyday (00:00 UTC).

Usage

GET requests can be sent to the following URL. To prevent abuse, this endpoint is rate limited at 1 request per second.

https://us1.unwiredlabs.com/v2/balance.php?token=YOUR_API_TOKEN

Replace us1 with an endpoint that’s closer to your location.

<?php

$curl = curl_init('https://us1.unwiredlabs.com/v2/balance.php?token=YOUR_API_TOKEN');

curl_setopt_array($curl, array(
  CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER    =>  true,
  CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION    =>  true,
  CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS         =>  10,
  CURLOPT_TIMEOUT           =>  30,
  CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST     =>  'GET',
));

$response = curl_exec($curl);
$err = curl_error($curl);

curl_close($curl);

if ($err) {
  echo 'cURL Error #:' . $err;
} else {
  echo $response;
}

import requests

url = "https://us1.unwiredlabs.com/v2/balance.php"

data = {
    'token': 'YOUR_API_TOKEN',
}

response = requests.get(url, params=data)

print(response.text)
