Model S REST API

Sorry seems I wrote in a haste. It's unable to log in at all. Using visible tesla it logs in and tells me I'm a lucky bastard to have two, but doesn't proceed beyond the car selection. With the streamer or teslacmd it doesn't even log in... And I'd be happy to test stuff

are you familiar with Linux and Perl?
If so, i've got a script I use that gathers telemetry from a Banana Pi (Raspberry Pi but with SATA interface) into mongodb.
Its a ~250 line perl script that gathers vehicle_state, drive_state, climate_state, charge_state as well as streaming telemetry and as far as i know it will gather data for multiple cars on the same account.

no point me sharing it with you unless you can actually install/run the code though, there ain't no GUI on it.

I run a datacenter for CERN calculations I've also written a few lines into the linux kernel etc I think I can manage it though I've never liked perl I have to admit due to its write once style

tree/code is at lincolntdale/tesla_telemetry · GitHub

run it once, it will create a config file and exit (default is /root/tesla/tesla_poller.cfg).
edit that file and where it says INSERT_USERNAME_HERE and INSERT_PASSWORD_HERE put your teslamotors.com email/password there.
then run it a second time and it'll stream various outputs to you.

this is my perl rewrite of hjespers/teslams · GitHub / Tesla Model S JSON API—by apiary.io / and a few other sources in this forum, as i didn't want to run this in the cloud elsewhere and wanted it on a raspberry pi so as to be energy frugal at home.

i have more code than this - e.g. heatmap of energy, speed etc over google maps, long-term storage of telemetry etc, but need to scrub some of that before posting.
this could/should get you started.

i've been running this in a loop for pretty much a month now, no downsides yet. tesla not rate-limiting my data as far as i can tell, so i think its being a good web citizen.

Strange. I can successfully login, request vehicles and all the data_request calls but when I call any of the command calls I get back 404 errors. I've looked at the xhr requests and they look correct. Any ideas?

 

[ACDriveMotor]

OK I figured it out. You need to POST commands and GET data_requests.

Hi
I'm sure that this question must have been asked and answered many times in 121 pages but I haven't found the answer yet: I'm running the Mac Visible Tesla app 0.28./01 on OS X 10.10.3. I enter my login and password, some activity in the lower left corner of the login window but then nothing. No login, no active tabs. What next?

Type of arg 1 to keys must be hash (not private variable) at ./poller.pl line 180, near "$json) "
Execution of ./poller.pl aborted due to compilation errors.

Took a bunch of additional libraries that I had to add to get it to execute without dependency issues, but won't run due to this error. The offending code:

foreach my $k (keys $json) {
printf "\t%s: %s\n",$k,$json->{$k};
}

The perl I use: perl-5.10.1-130.el6_4.x86_64

Anyone have the format of the new API version of set_charge_limit? I am POSTing that command (via WinJS.xhr) and getting a 200 return but the vehicle charge limit is not changing.

Request: {
"url":"https://owner-api.teslamotors.com/api/1/vehicles/{id}/command/set_charge_limit/",
"responseType":"json",
"type":"POST","
data":{"percent":70},"
headers":{"Authorization":"Bearer {token}"}
}

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

Other commands and data_requests seem to work fine.

I second this. I also get the 200 response and result "true" but it does not set the desired charge limit no matter what I do.

Try 70 as a string rather than as an integer (i.e. "data": { "percent": "70" } ).

 

[apacheguy]

Tried it. Doesn't do it for me.

 

[ACDriveMotor]

I started with string and changed to Number() and neither works for me.

Can someone share the URL/Body of a known to work new API set_charge_limit call?

I have working code with the new API. I can probably help. First of all, does any other command work for you? is it specifically this one that doesn't work or do other ones not work as well?

 

[ACDriveMotor]

Yes. I can flash lights and honk horn.

 

[ACDriveMotor]

I am also seeing a lot of 503 errors. Could this be throttling by the TM servers?

Most likely.

And to answer your other question, you probably need to JSON.stringify your data. Let me know if that works for you.

 

[ACDriveMotor]

OK that is a good call, I bet that is it. Let me try that now.

No, that didn't do it either. It set the charge value to 50% when I requested 70%

 

[ACDriveMotor]

Could someone post what the body looks like?
