This page describes the different methods that developers may use to communicate position data to the TrackMyRide servers. The method
the developer choose to communicate depends greatly on personal experience, ease of implementation, and device type.
Currently, the server supports two different methods of communication; HTTP or
MQTT.
What we are describing here is the protocol or method of how devices report data to the server. Once the data is received by the server the rest of the process is the same regardless
of how the data was sent.
Just like most things in life, each method has its advantages and disadvantages and we won't argue which method is better or which one
a developer should use. We support both and will help any developer be successful in getting their device to communicate.
If you have another idea of how to get data to our server please let us know and we might implment it as well. The idea behind the
TrackMyRide site is to interface with as many devices as possible and be as open as possible.
