Find or Create Tracker and Report Position

with Amazon Location Service

Ensure a tracker exists and then report a device position to it.

  1. List the trackers in the account to detect whether the requested tracker already exists.
  2. Upload the device position to the already-existing tracker.
  3. Create the tracker because no existing tracker matched the requested name.
  4. Seed the newly created tracker with the supplied device position.
What you'll need to have ready
  • TrackerName: The tracker resource name to find or create.
  • PositionFiltering: Position filtering method applied only when creating the tracker.
  • DeviceId: The identifier of the device whose position is being uploaded.
  • Longitude: The longitude coordinate of the device position.
  • Latitude: The latitude coordinate of the device position.
  • SampleTime: ISO-8601 timestamp for when the position was sampled.
