API Polling question

[d900929]

Hi All

I've got a very quick question that someone likely knows the answer to.

I'm using CURL to log data about my car. Just wondering , what sorts of API calls (other than the one that actually wakes up the car) makes the car stay awake?

The API Calls I am most interested in are the get vehicle data one

https://owner-api.teslamotors.com/api/1/vehicles/:id/vehicle_data​

and the get drive state one (since it reports GPS co-ordinates).

https://owner-api.teslamotors.com/api/1/vehicles/:id/data_request/drive_state​

Am I correct in assuming I can poll these as many times as I want without waking the car if it is indeed asleep, but that the car will periodically wake up to send data to tesla at which point I can get it from the above API calls?

My goal is to have the highest frequency of polling possible while minimizing battery drain.

Hi,

It looks like I can poll "https://owner-api.teslamotors.com/api/1/vehicles/:id/data_request/drive_state" as much as I want, it won't wake the car unless I send the "wake up" command first. Which is fine - since the car is likely going to be asleep when it is parked/not moving.
