New endpoints for locking/unlocking a driver's Motive card
June 4th, 2025 by Abhay Anumula
Earlier, we had launched a feature that allows locking or unlocking a driver's Motive card from the Motive Dashboard. Now, we are introducing public endpoints for doing the same, as this allow you to leverage the feature in your apps.
New endpoints
- Name: Lock a driver's Motive card
- Method: POST
- URL: https://api.gomotive.com/motive_card/v1/cards/{card_id}/lock
- Purpose: Use this endpoint to lock the Motive card of a driver. Locking a Motive card allows companies to prevent misuse of the card in case of theft or loss. It also prevents any unauthorized or fraudulent use of the card.
- Name: Unlock a driver's Motive card
- Method: POST
- URL: https://api.gomotive.com/motive_card/v1/cards/{card_id}/unlock
- Purpose: Use this endpoint to temporarily unlock the Motive card for a default duration of 30 minutes. Temporary unlocking (for 30 minutes) allows controlled usage by the cardholder, reducing the risk of prolonged exposure to misuse.
