For Agents

Pull fleet telematics from Lytx DriveCam: list vehicles and devices, retrieve GPS history, safety events, video, Hours of Service, trips, DVIR reports, geofences, and driver assignments.

Install Jentic One Beta

Connect the Lytx DriveCam API to your agent

Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Lytx DriveCam API, or any other public or private API you need. You set the rules, the agent never sees your credentials, and every call is logged.

Two steps, two machines. Install the instance in a safe environment, then register your agent from wherever it runs.

Step 1: Jentic One Host machine

# On the machine that will host your Jentic One instance:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | sh

Step 2: Agent machine

# On the machine where your agent runs (keep this separate from the instance):
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | sh
jentic register       # connects your agent to your Jentic One instance

Jentic One is in public beta. The setup above keeps your agent separate from the instance, which is what you want before using real credentials: an agent running as the same OS user as Jentic One can read its stored keys directly. Just evaluating? A single local install is fine to start. See the secure deployment guide for the tiers.

View OpenAPI Document

Jentic publishes the only available OpenAPI specification for Lytx DriveCam API, keeping it validated and agent-ready. Lytx DriveCam is a fleet video telematics platform that records driving events, tracks vehicles via GPS, and surfaces unsafe driving behaviour. The API exposes 15 endpoints covering authentication, devices, vehicles, GPS, safety events, video, Hours of Service, trips, DVIR, ECM, geofences, distances, groups, and users. Fleet operators use it to feed safety dashboards, driver scorecards, and compliance reports without scraping the Lytx web portal.

Use Cases

Patterns agents use Lytx DriveCam API for, with concrete tasks.

★ Driver Safety Scorecard

Build per-driver safety scorecards by pulling /safety events and /trips data, then weighting harsh braking, speeding, and distraction events against miles driven. Fleets typically combine /vehicles, /driverassignments, and /safety to attribute events to the right driver. Integration takes 3 to 5 days to wire up daily refresh and historical backfill.

Authenticate via /auth/user, then fetch /safety events for the past 7 days, join with /driverassignments to map events to driverId, and compute a per-driver score weighted by /distances data.

Hours of Service Compliance

Pull /hos data and /dvir reports nightly to feed FMCSA compliance dashboards and flag drivers approaching their daily or weekly driving limits. The Lytx API provides the raw status changes so compliance officers can audit logs without using the Lytx portal. Most teams build this in a week.

Pull /hos for all drivers for the last 24 hours and flag any driver whose accumulated drive time exceeds 10 hours, then attach the matching /dvir record.

Incident Video Retrieval

When a safety event is triggered or a customer complaint is filed, retrieve the matching video clip via /video using the safety event ID. Risk and claims teams use this to review collisions and unsafe behaviour before sharing with insurers. Setup is straightforward — under a day for a basic clip retrieval workflow.

Look up safety event SE-9921 from /safety, then call /video with that event ID to retrieve the associated clip URL and store it against the incident record.

AI Agent Fleet Operations Assistant

An ops manager can ask an AI agent 'which drivers had harsh braking events yesterday' or 'pull the dashcam video for the 3pm incident on truck 412' and have the agent call Lytx through Jentic. Jentic isolates the bearer token in the MAXsystem vault and surfaces operations by intent. Setup is under an hour.

Use Jentic to search for 'list safety events for a driver', load the /safety operation schema, execute it with driverId 4421 for the last 24 hours, and summarise the events in a Slack message.

Why Jentic?

Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.

Credential isolation

Lytx username, password, and bearer tokens are stored encrypted in the Jentic MAXsystem vault. Agents execute Lytx calls through Jentic with a scoped session — credentials never enter prompts or logs.

Intent-based discovery

Agents search by intent — 'list safety events' or 'retrieve dashcam video' — and Jentic returns the matching Lytx operations with their input schemas. The agent does not need to read the Lytx developer portal.

Time to first call

Direct integration with Lytx: 3 to 5 days to wire up auth, vehicles, events, and video retrieval. Through Jentic: under an hour from sign-up to first executed call.

FAQs

Specific to using Lytx DriveCam API through Jentic.

Why is there no official OpenAPI spec for Lytx DriveCam API?

Lytx does not publish an OpenAPI specification. Jentic generates and maintains this spec so that AI agents and developers can call Lytx DriveCam API via structured tooling. It is validated against the live API and kept up to date. Get started at https://app.jentic.com/sign-up.

What authentication does the Lytx DriveCam API use?

The API uses HTTP bearer authentication. Call POST /auth/user with your Lytx credentials to obtain a bearer token, then send it on every subsequent request. Through Jentic, Lytx credentials live in the MAXsystem vault — the agent never sees the raw username, password, or token.

Can I retrieve dashcam video clips with the Lytx DriveCam API?

Yes. The /video endpoint returns clip metadata and URLs associated with safety events. Look up the event in /safety first to get its event ID, then call /video to retrieve the clip.

What are the rate limits for the Lytx DriveCam API?

Lytx does not publish a public rate limit policy. Limits are tied to your account contract — your Lytx implementation manager can confirm the per-second and per-day caps.

How do I build a driver safety scorecard with the Lytx DriveCam API through Jentic?

Run pip install jentic, then search for 'list safety events'. Jentic returns the /safety operation schema. Execute it for the relevant time window and join the results to /driverassignments and /distances to compute per-driver scores.

Does the Lytx DriveCam API expose Hours of Service data?

Yes. GET /hos returns Hours of Service status and duty changes for drivers. Pair it with /dvir for a complete FMCSA-style compliance feed for nightly reporting.
