Insights Positions (v4)

The Positions API provides access to operations that retrieve live & historical position information. This position data is ingested and sanitized by the Atrius position processing system. Note, there may some delay between a position sent from a device and becoming available through this API.

GetPositionsBySiteIdStartDateEndDate

Retrieve a list of URLs with SAS tokens attached that allow temporary access to download .parquet files with position history for a specific site, date range, and product source.
A positions parquet file has the following columns:

Column Name Datatype Description
positionid string uuid for each message
timestampreceived datetime timestamp of each message can be cast to long to convert to nanoseconds
floorid integer floor id for the position in the Atrius system
orgid integer organization id in the Atrius system
floorspaceid integer floorspace id for the position in the Atrius system
deviceid string unique device id (MAC address) of the asset
capturetype string type of technology used to capture and generate the position
localx double x coordinate in meters from the floorspace origin
localy double y coordinate in meters from the floorspace origin
localz double z coordinate, will always be 0
latitude double position latitude
longitude double position longitude
productsource string product that generated the position message (assets/navigator)
