Widget Map Ticker

What are Tickers?

Tickers are pointers for the map view. Using tickers, you can track and monitor the movement or location of objects or individuals on a map in real-time. They can be updated instantaneously via REST API, which will be transmitted to users who are actively viewing the map. Live update works on a subscription model where users are updated for 10 minutes counting from the time they open the map view tab.

Note: Ticker updates should be stored by the developer to send the updated data in widget response.

      "tickers": {
         "chennai": {
