Model S REST API

[cryptyk]

Does nevermind mean you found the answer (please share) or that you no longer need to know the answer? I haven't tried it but believe I understand that the device sends a gps loc with the homelink command.

Nevermind was referencing my previous post about closing the charge port doot. It's in the APIs harvested from the ios app. Instead of charge_port_door_open, you pass charge_port_door_close. I haven't tested it yet.

I still haven't started playing around with homelink/summon yet.

I keep tokens for users until they don't work anymore. Once they expire, I email the user and ask them to come back and re-enter their password. I don't think there's any other responsible way to handle it in a production application. Storing passwords is just bad news. I've been wanting to make a library that handles all of the above as a service and exposes Oauth2 for developers. It's in a long line of ideas that I don't have enough time to do

What if the user doesn't want you to store the token any longer. Do you just throw it away at that point? Is there no OAuth way to invalidate an existing token before expiry?

If a user deletes their account, I delete the token along with all of their other data.

If a user wants to revoke a token, they can go change their password on MyTesla. This has two issues though:
1) There's a delay that can last hours before the old token is rejected in API calls.
2) It invalidates all tokens that have been requested, so you can't just revoke one application.

There really needs to be a REST call to invalidate an individual token or all tokens. Something like oauth/invalidate_token

Yes of course there should be but since Tesla didn't set this system up for third parties it just doesn't exist.

This is my most simplified implementation in PHP to use the Tesla API

.... tried it with "quote", it works, but without indentation:

Every request except for the "$tesla->vehicles()" is being returned to me with this:

stdClass Object ( [response] => [error] => not_found [error_description] => )

stdClass Object ( [response] => [error] => not_found [error_description] => )

I figured it out. I was using "vehicle_id" returned by vehicle list request instead if "id" for my car id. Once changed everything worked.

not a resT API question, but if anyone has played with recoloring Tesla's PNGs could you PM me?

The latest Tesla apps don't have separate PNGs for each color of the ModelS/X anymore, instead they're repainting them on the fly - which I'm trying to do and add model X graphics to my app, but failing to get the same results -- even with an Android test app that is seeming making the same calls.

 

[ACDriveMotor]

Couldn't you re-paint them offline?

 

[ahimberg]

yeah but the point is a much smaller download size for the app

 

[ACDriveMotor]

Yes, well I understand that part. A run-time flood fill while keeping the highlights would be an interesting exercise. Potentially easier to do in 3D.

Has anyone noticed any issues with your MS sleeping over the past few days? My car hasn't gone into sleep mode since late Thursday night for some reason. Anyone running teslams or visible tesla that supports sleep mode and notice this?

Never mind. Teslalog.com randomly started monitoring my car Thursday night. Can't disable or delete my account.

Can't you change your Tesla password?

I did last night, but it's still monitoring. I guess the keys stay alive even if you change the password.

Boo. Sorry to hear it. That's annoying.

I reported this bug to Tesla several months ago, and a developer contacted me about it. He said previously there was an issue with token expiration, and it was quickly fixed as a result.

At that time, changing the password would expire all existing tokens. (I tested it, it worked). But I guess that's not working any more?

here's the old thread: iPhone app login credentials and a big security hole?

I released this Golang API wrapper last week:

GitHub - jsgoecke/tesla: Provides a wrapper around the API to easily query and command a Telsa Model S

I am missing the summons portion of the API. Has anyone actually published the API calls and resources somewhere?

 

[rog]

Would also be interested in the API details for summon!

There is another Tesla API NodeJS library available: teslajs
