SCORECARD

ExistenceGOODFirst-class public REST API at developer.fleetio.com: 60+ endpoints, dated versioning, and bulk operations.
AccessFAILPlan-gated rather than open: API access generally needs a Professional plan or higher, and webhooks are tiered by plan.
CoverageGOOD60+ endpoints span vehicles, work orders, parts, inspections, fuel, and purchasing; the Bulk API takes 100 records per request.
AuthGOODAPI keys or OAuth bearer tokens; webhooks are signed with HMAC SHA-256 plus an optional pass-through Authorization header.
Docs & DXGOODdeveloper.fleetio.com has full reference docs, webhook and versioning guides, and an API whitepaper; the only gap is no official SDK.
StabilityMIXEDDated versions (2023-03-01 to 2025-05-05) must be tracked and rolled forward; the default 20 requests/minute limit forces staggered syncs.
Supergood: Fleetio has an API, but using it means gates, contracts, or workarounds. Ours doesn't: stable endpoints, normalized JSON, managed auth.
