Build on the gate.

GateGuardX has a REST API and signed webhooks. Connect your transport software, resident database, or operations stack so authorized-vehicle lists, guest passes, and crossing events stay in sync — automatically, across every site.

Your first request

A real call, and what comes back.

Authenticate with a scoped key, call a clean REST endpoint, get JSON back. No SDK required — though here's how it looks in your stack.

GET/v1/vehicle-groups
curl https://app.gateguardx.com/api/v1/vehicle-groups \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ggx_live_3xR9…"

What you can build

Keep access in step with your operations.

Sync authorized vehicles

Create, update, and remove authorized vehicles and groups from your own systems. Your transport software, HR app, or resident database stays the source of truth — the gate keeps in step, nothing entered twice.

Guest passes on demand

Issue and revoke time-limited guest passes programmatically — for deliveries, contractors, and visitors — and let them expire on their own.

Read every crossing

Pull a complete, photo-verified log of each entry: plate, vehicle, gate, location, and timestamp, with a link to the image. For your dashboards, audits, and analytics.

Real-time webhooks

Subscribe to events and have them pushed to your endpoint the moment they happen, with a signed payload you can verify. No polling.

At a glance

A clean REST surface, scoped to what you need.

Resources

  • Vehicles & authorized lists
  • Guest passes
  • Crossing events — read-only
  • Locations & gates — read-only
  • Webhooks & delivery history

Built for production

  • Key-based auth — a bearer token in the Authorization header, never in a URL
  • Granular scopes, read-only by default; write access only where you grant it
  • Per-key rate limits, with a clear 429 and Retry-After
  • Idempotent writes — safe to retry with an Idempotency-Key
  • Webhooks signed with HMAC-SHA256 you can verify
  • JSON, paginated, versioned under /v1
Or skip the code

Connect what you already run.

Pre-built connections to transport software (Shiptify) and spreadsheet/CSV import keep your vehicle lists current without a single line of code, plus custom integrations on request. The API is there when you need to go further.

Secure by design

A physical-access API, built like one.

An integration touches your access lists and your event history — never the hardware, and never another customer's data.

Scoped to your data

Access is scoped to your company. Multi-tenant isolation is enforced in the database itself (row-level security), so an integration only ever sees your vehicles, your events, your sites — never another tenant's.

Access by list, not remote command

The API governs who's authorized and reads what happened. It deliberately exposes no gate-hardware control, device management, or account administration — there is no “open this gate now” command for integrations.

Encrypted, least-privilege

AES-256 at rest, TLS 1.2+ in transit. Read-only by default; write access only where you need it. Plate reading runs on-site, so raw video never leaves the gate — only the events you read through the API.

Getting access

Tell us your stack. We'll set you up.

API access is provisioned per integration partner. Tell us what you run and what you want to sync, and we'll set up scoped access and share the full API reference — so you can build against it with confidence.

01

Request access

Tell us your stack and what you want to sync. We provision a scoped key for your company.

02

Authenticate

Send your key as a bearer token on every request — Authorization: Bearer ggx_live_…

03

Make your first call

GET /api/v1/vehicle-groups returns your access lists as JSON. You're integrated.
