Tractive

Tractive is an Austrian pet-technology company, founded in October 2012 in Pasching, Austria and led by CEO Michael Hurnaus, that builds GPS location and health-monitoring trackers for dogs and cats. Its collar-attached devices (such as the DOG and CAT GPS trackers) pair with a subscription mobile app to deliver real-time worldwide location, virtual fences, activity, sleep and, more recently, resting heart-rate and respiratory-rate health intelligence to more than 1.4 million active subscribers. Tractive was acquired by Italy's Bending Spoons in 2026. Tractive does NOT publish a public developer API, SDK, or developer portal — its backend HTTP API (api.tractive.com) is private to its own apps; the only clients are unofficial, community reverse-engineered libraries. This profile enriches the company's identity for the API Evangelist network; there is no official API surface to catalog.

Tractive is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Pet Technology, GPS Tracking, IoT, and Location.

Tractive’s developer surface includes engineering blog and 8 more developer resources.
