API Templates
Colota includes built-in templates for popular backends. Select a template in Settings > API Settings to auto-configure field mappings and custom fields.
| Template | Bearing Field | Custom Fields | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dawarich | cog | _type: "location" | OwnTracks-compatible format |
| OwnTracks | cog | _type: "location", tid: "AA" | Standard OwnTracks HTTP format |
| Reitti | bear | _type: "location" | Standard field names |
| Custom | bear | (none) | Fully user-defined |
All templates share the same base fields: lat, lon, acc, alt, vel, batt, bs, tst. The key differences are the bearing field name and auto-included custom fields.
When you select a template, field mapping and custom fields are automatically configured. You can still customize individual fields after applying a template.
