Model S REST API

[GaryREM]

I'm a little confused.

There REST API was initially documented at https://timdorr.docs.apiary.io/#. However, there appear to be significant updates.

Is there any plan to update these docs?

Not really, but if you fork them and make a pull req with your changes I'm sure Tim would accept them

Apologies if I missed this. Has the streaming API changed within the past couple years? It doesn't seem to return anything (content length 0) for me:

> GET /stream/xyxyxyxyxyx/?values=speed,power HTTP/1.1
> Host: streaming.vn.teslamotors.com
> Authorization: Basic xyxyxyxyxyxyxyx
> User-Agent: curl/7.42.1
> Accept: */*
>
* SSLv2, Unknown (23):
< HTTP/1.1 200 OK
< Server: nginx

* Connection #0 to host streaming.vn.teslamotors.com left intact

Bump. Anyone?

Here is the exact curl command I am using to diagnose:

curl -v --user USR:TOKEN -H "Accept: */*" https://streaming.vn.teslamotors.com/stream/xyxyyxyxyxy/?values=speed,odometer,elevation,soc

This works for me:

Vehicle: tokens=[u'123456789abcdef0', u'1234123412341234']
VEHICLE_TOKEN='123456789abcdef0'
curl --user "$TESLA_EMAIL:$VEHICLE_TOKEN" "https://streaming.vn.teslamotors.com/stream/$VEHICLE_ID/?values=speed,odometer,soc,elevation,est_heading,est_lat,est_lng,power,shift_state"

Can't get the streaming api to work either on Model 3 (2018.21.9 75bdbc11)

Looking through the APK, I found a "new" streaming endpoint:

StreamingServerEndpoints={LOCATION_STREAMING:"streaming/",AUTOPARK_SUMMON:"connect/"}

but I am unable to connect, server seems to not be able to connect to the car.

{"msg_type":"data:error","tag":"${vehicle_id}","value":"disconnected","error_type":"vehicle_disconnected"}

If anyone wants to try the new endpoint on their Model S or X I can send some sample code over

 

[apacheguy]

Sorry, should’ve mentioned that I’m trying this on a Model 3. Not sure if that matters.

The PowerTools app uses the streaming API AFAIK. How come this works and our curl commands do not?

Have you tried the PowerTools app with your Model 3? I briefly tried it on my Model 3, and it didn't seem to work.

 

[apacheguy]

Yeah, I confirmed that Tesla has broken the streaming API on the Model 3. Still works fine on the Model S. Hopefully this is just a firmware bug.

 

[dpskipper]

Anyone got the new firmware that allows the speed limit via app?

I would love to see the endpoint.

Paging @SG57 for his mad skillz

Are you saying it doesn't work in the app?

 

[SG57]

@dpskipper , haha already on it!

 

[apacheguy]

Are you saying it doesn't work in the app?

The speed only updates about every 5 s on the official app. So, no they aren’t using the streaming API.

What has the most up to date api? Is it documented somewhere?

Just dig through the thread.
Its a gold mine of information. If you want something that's already been posted you can try search for it.

Ok, I posted about my Javascript API Token Generator in this thread: Tesla API Token Generator

But I've been working on enhancing it a lot tonight. Basically, it injects a Javascript script using Tampermonkey onto the https://owner-api.teslamotors.com/oauth/token domain. So in effect, all the code is running in your local browser talking directly to the Tesla API endpoints over https. No middleman or other websites or servers to worry about. No need to install Python, Ruby, PHP, Postman, CURL, etc or learn or use the OSX or linux command line.

This method only has one requirement: Install the Tampermonkey browser extension in Chrome or Firefox. You can then install my script from this page with one click: About | Telsa API Token Generator | Userscripts | OpenUserJS Once installed, just go to: https://owner-api.teslamotors.com/oauth/token to get started and the script will do its thing.

All the code is right there in Javascript/jquery for your review/inspection. Once you login, you can view all the cars on your Tesla Account, and then pull the /data endpoint for each one.

It's pretty basic at this point, but if you want to just play around and see what the API returns for your car, I think this is probably the easiest way for people to jump in and browse the API information. Or say if you're away from your own server or API code, this is browser-only code that you can safely run from anywhere.

Seriously? Comb through 2300 posts looking for the ones that may be relevant? We really do not someone to keep the API docs updated.

If you want to keep them updated send a pull req to Tim dorr's API docs...

Nobody so far has done that so searching threads we must

There are no energy apis, huh? I guess I could try to calculate it based off charging time, miles, etc.

 

[HankLloydRight]

Teslafi.com does it.
