Model S REST API

[Dan203]

I also have a project that runs on Google Firebase that generates and refreshed tokens that seems to still be working fine. (currently only used for my own car, but I might release as a product eventually)

Just edited the token shortcut without changing anything and it works. Still none of the commands work, vehicle_data returns an error with a proper token for example. I suspect it has something to do with Shortcuts since other tools are working.

 

[Gwgan]

In my testing I mixed up id and vehicle_id so now all seems well again. I think there were two problems, first one fixed just by replacing the client_id and client_secret with the same values and then fixing the problem I created by mixing up which id to use. Sounds like the original problem was some kind of formatting issue with Shortcuts which solved itself with an inconsequential edit.

In my testing I mixed up id and vehicle_id so n

I think everyone has made that mistake at least once.

It looks like Tesla may have firewalled off cloud providers from using their endpoints recently. This is a bit inconvenient for me as it seems to have happened just around the time I got evacuated from my home due to fires, so I'm missing a lot of otherwise useful data that my app would've been recording.

This is what I see when I try to connect from either GCE or AWS:

openssl s_client -connect owner-api.teslamotors.com:443
140495337194752:error:0200206E:system library:connect:Connection timed out:crypto/bio/b_sock2.c:110:
140495337194752:error:2008A067:BIO routines:BIO_connect:connect error:crypto/bio/b_sock2.c:111:
connect:errno=110

(i.e., they just don't ever establish a connection)

It'd be really nice if they could just tell us specific rules we could play by to access data from our cars. My app attempts to be fairly gentle while letting me plot details on my driving, charging, temperatures, etc...

I see that with my app too, and echo your sentiments. API requests form AWS fail but they do work from other networks.

Does the API update the location when the car is being transported, or only when the car is "on"?

I'm having my car shipped 700 miles, but I don't see it tracking in real time.

edit: I'm pretty sure it doesn't, because it's not. The driver has to pick up a McLaren next and move my car, so I suspect I'll get a location reading at that time.

Wakeup seems to have stopped working via the API for me recently (last month).

(In case it matters, Model 3.)

Actually, not sure about that.

It's actually failing earlier in my sequence.

Is this URL no longer valid?

https://owner-api.teslamotors.com/api/1/vehicles

is now back up and running from AWS, as of this morning (wasn't last night).

Is there any list of the API calls that are disabled while the car is in motion? I wrote a modification to my Tesla app that honks the horn when my daughter exceeds X over the speed limit (and yes I do know about setting the speed limit in the app/car), but it doesn't work when she's in motion. I'd like to find a list of what is enabled vs not when it is in drive.
Thanks.

Only when the wheels are turning/moving - i had this when mine was being transported.

So, I'm having difficulty setting the soc_limit to anything other than 50% or 80%. When I run a command, like the following, in a bash session, I can only set the car to a soc_limit of 80. Any 'percent' less than 50, is set to 50, otherwise, the API makes it 80. Has anyone had any luck with this new version 10 API?

curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer ${bear}" -H "Content-Type: application/json" --data '{"percent" : "100"}' -H "User-Agent: another client" \
-i "https://owner-api.teslamotors.com/api/1/vehicles/${veh}/command/set_charge_limit"
​

A typical API response is:

{"response":{"reason":"already_set","result":false}}​

 

[Florian500]

Try this:
--data '{"percent":100}'
That works well in TeslaLogger Open Source Teslalogger on Raspberry / Docker with ScanMyTesla integration

Hi

So i have used siri shortcuts for different stuff regarding Tesla, but im having a difficult time using

set_preconditioning_max

I have different shortcuts depending on wakeup, and running commands, then i have one main shortcut for triggering stuff, opening the car, setting charge limit, opening trunk/frunk (model x) all works fine.

But i cant get the above command to work.

The weird thing is that the output is

{"response":{"result":true,"reason":""}}

That seems like a bad idea.

Maybe just change the radio to the oldies station and bounce the volume between 1 and 5 every few seconds. At least that way, drivers around her aren't impacted directly.

Has anyone found if/how enabling 2FA affects API access?

 

[brianman]

My REST stuff died a few days ago (i.e. no data in October at all for me). Dunno if it's server-side or not yet.

I enable 2FA on my account and the APIs continued working as before. Doesn't seem like there is any change on that front right now.

Tesla had again blocked requests from services such as AWS. Might be related to that.
