Error in Tesla API

ronaldderksen · Aug 30, 2018

Hi,

Today I noticed that when I use the unofficial tesla API. I get a response like this on vehicle commands:

<html><head></head><body><p>Our servers are waiting for a supercharger spot..</p></body></html>

The same call worked yesterday. Doe anybody know what this message means?
Vehicle state commands are still working.
The original Tesla app is still working correct.

What I also tried was using:

Tesla Model S JSON API · Apiary

filled in my vehicle id and bearer token and I get above response. When I use the 'Mock server' I get the correct response

I ran into this issue as well and I added two new headers:

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android 9.0.0; VS985 4G Build/LRX21Y; wv) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Chrome/58.0.3029.83 Mobile Safari/537.36

X-Tesla-User-Agent: TeslaApp/3.4.4-350/fad4a582e/android/9.0.0

These work and are based on the latest app i've installed. But I'm pretty sure the x-tesla-user-agent could be anything.

Thank you. I needed to add both headers. It is working again.

Just curious. How did you find these headers? Traffic from app to tesla api is encrypted via tls. On iPhone you cannot place a 'proxy' in the middle because certificates need to be valid.

I decompiled the APK for android and checked all the outgoing headers and then followed the code to see what their values were. my first thought was that the client keys changed but they're still the same.

problems with vba code help

morder · Aug 30, 2018

I don't know VBA but you don't give us much to go on.

That's weird. The API is still working fine for me, and I haven't added those headers. I'm am using a very old client ID, though, so maybe that makes a difference.

ronaldderksen · Aug 31, 2018

Thanks morder,

I am going for a different approach to get these headers, for future changes. I will try to run a proxy and create signed certificates with my own CA (for the tesla api url). And via DNS redirect traffic to my proxy. I then only need to install my own CA on my own phone. If this works I can log all headers easily.

My problem,

when put header

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android 9.0.0; VS985 4G Build/LRX21Y; wv) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Chrome/58.0.3029.83 Mobile Safari/537.36

it's wrong

In my case, I simply had to add 'user-agent' header to my node client with an arbitrary value. Strangely, postman, curl, ruby, etc. all worked, but there's something weird about node. Anyway, no time to figure it out, here's some copy pasta that you can try

Code:

var http = require("https");

var options = {
  "method": "GET",
  "hostname": "owner-api.teslamotors.com",
  "port": null,
  "path": "/api/1/vehicles",
  "headers": {
    "authorization": "Bearer YOUR_TOKEN_HERE",
    'user-agent': '007'
  }
};

var req = http.request(options, function (res) {
  var chunks = [];

  res.on("data", function (chunk) {
    chunks.push(chunk);
  });

  res.on("end", function () {
    var body = Buffer.concat(chunks);
    console.log(body.toString());
  });
});

req.end();

Thanks for sharing this guys. I was really scratching my head, I thought my code had somehow changed by itself

If you have decompiled the code, is it possible to figure out the API calls for the summon feature? It would be great to document those.

morder · Sep 6, 2018

Considering how much trouble they're having Add support for new Summon APIs · Issue #16 · timdorr/model-s-api it probably won't be as simple as looking at the code.

Hey guys while testing my swift lib i noticed that i dont need to add any header besides the content-type. POST and GET works just fine

Allante · Jan 15, 2019

Does anyone know what happened to the Tim Dorr API page where you can enter code directly into the console view? I know that it has moved to a new site, but it no longer enables you to type directly into the console.

How can I do this now?

Mine is still up. It is a fork of the one Tim had with some changes. I also have all the body/header values pre-set etc:
