Trip Settings

This API allows you to get or set specific values, such as event notification thresholds, for an individual trip. For the specified trip, these settings override the default API key settings that were selected at the time the API key was created.

For example, if the API key has a setting of 2 miles for the threshold of when an Out-of-Corridor event is triggered, the Trip Settings API can set it to 1 mile or any other value for the specific trip only.

To get the correct values, users of this API must perform authentication using the API key that is associated with the Company Account.
