Velocity Fleet API — PHP SDK
A modern, framework-agnostic PHP SDK for the Radius Velocity Fleet Telematics API, built on Saloon. Bearer authentication, an optional OAuth2 refresh-token flow, typed responses, and transient-error backoff — all baked in.

What it covers
The Velocity Telematics API exposes a small, focused surface — and this SDK wraps all of it:
| Endpoint | SDK |
|---|---|
| List the customers linked to your user | $velocity->customers()->list() |
| List live device (vehicle) positions for a customer | $velocity->devicePositions()->forCustomer($id) |
Requirements
- PHP 8.3+
- A Velocity Fleet API token (generated in the UI), or a customer-issued refresh token if you're a third-party integration.
Installation
Quick start
With an API token (existing customers)
Generate a token in the Velocity UI under Account → Account Settings → API Integrations → Create API Token, then:
With a refresh token (third-party integrations)
Your customer supplies a Refresh Token. The SDK exchanges it for a short-lived access token on first use (standard OAuth2 refresh_token grant), and refreshes again whenever a call comes back unauthorised:
Reading device positions
Use the right id. The customers response is keyed by each customer's unique id — exposed as
Customer::$id. Pass that toforCustomer(), not the human-facingCustomer::$number.
Persisting tokens
When you use the refresh-token flow, implement Contracts\TokenStore to keep the rotated token between requests (the in-memory ArrayTokenStore only lives for the current process). The token endpoint may rotate the refresh token, so your put() must always overwrite the previous record:
Errors
Failures surface as typed exceptions, all extending Exceptions\VelocityFleetException:
| Exception | When |
|---|---|
NotConnectedException |
No token available (and none could be obtained) |
AuthenticationException |
401 / 403 after a refresh attempt — re-authorise |
ApiException |
Any other API error or transport failure (carries ->status, ->body, ->headers, header(), and retryAfter()) |
A note on authentication details
The Velocity API is a Django REST Framework service using Bearer (SimpleJWT) access tokens, with token issuance via an OAuth2 endpoint (django-oauth-toolkit). The third-party refresh-token exchange isn't part of the public reference, so the SDK targets the standard OAuth2 refresh_token grant at https://www.velocityfleet.com/o/token/ by default. If your integration documents a different token endpoint or client-authentication requirement, pass it through VelocityFleetConnector (tokenEndpoint, clientId, clientSecret) — no code changes needed.
Sending raw requests
Anything not yet wrapped in a resource can be sent through the client, which still applies auth, refresh-on-401, and typed error handling:
Testing
Tests never hit the network — every request is faked with Saloon's MockClient.
