Tive

Tive is a real-time supply-chain and shipment visibility platform built on cellular IoT trackers. The Tive Public API (v3) lets you programmatically create and track shipments, manage trackers/devices, pull sensor data (location, temperature, humidity, pressure, light, motion, battery), configure alert presets, and subscribe to webhooks for push event delivery.

Tive publishes 6 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Alerts API, Authentication API, Devices API, and 3 more. Tagged areas include Supply Chain, Shipment Visibility, Logistics, IoT, and Trackers.

Tive’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, engineering blog, and 8 more developer resources.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/tive: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
