/geofencing/v0/collections/{CollectionName}/positions
http://geo.{region}.amazonaws.com/geofencing/v0/collections/{CollectionName}/positions<p>Evaluates device positions against the geofence geometries from a given geofence collection.</p> <p>This operation always returns an empty response because geofences are asynchronously evaluated. The evaluation determines if the device has entered or exited a geofenced area, and then publishes one of the following events to Amazon EventBridge:</p> <ul> <li> <p> <code>ENTER</code> if Amazon Location determines that the tracked device has entered a geofenced area.</p> </li> <li> <p> <code>EXIT</code> if Amazon Location determines that the tracked device has exited a geofenced area.</p> </li> </ul> <note> <p>The last geofence that a device was observed within is tracked for 30 days after the most recent device position update.</p> </note> <note> <p>Geofence evaluation uses the given device position. It does not account for the optional <code>Accuracy</code> of a <code>DevicePositionUpdate</code>.</p> </note> <note> <p>The <code>DeviceID</code> is used as a string to represent the device. You do not need to have a <code>Tracker</code> associated with the <code>DeviceID</code>.</p> </note>
Path Parameters
The geofence collection used in evaluating the position of devices against its geofences.
Body Params
Contains device details for each device to be evaluated against the given geofence collection.
