Model S REST API

[Majerus]

Make sure your "driver_temp" and "passenger_temp" values are strings.

Hum.. ill give it a shot.

 

[AllenWong]

looks like these are the new vehicle commands for valet mode

/vehicles/{id}/command/reset_valet_pin
/vehicles/{id}/command/set_valet_mode
{
"on": boolean
"password", string
}

I haven't tested them yet.

Also calls to /vehicles/{id}/data_request/vehicle_state now returns valet mode info:

{
...
valet_mode: boolean,
valet_pin_needed: boolean
...
}

thanks buddy. I'll give it a try when I get home from physical therapy. And valet_mode and valet_pin_needed have been around for a while now.

Would be nice to have a command to engage / disengage Valet mode remotely.

 

[perkiset]

The new app does it. Go to Settings and you'll see the Valet mode. It rocks.

 

[ACDriveMotor]

Very nice! I will try this out in my app.

I guess it is not strictly 'api', but has anyone looked at the android app comms to see where the data is being pulled from for the referral contest?

Answering my own post, it turned out not to be hard.

URL for local is: hxxp://www.teslamotors.com/content/<KEY>?token=<TOKEN>&lat=<LATITUDE>&long=<LONGITUDE>&is_android&is_global=0

Interestingly, changing the latitude and longitude to points in the three EU, NA, AP regions, yields the three local scoreboards. Output is pure HTML.

Received firmware update today to v6.2-2.5.36

vehicles now returns a new field "id_s":"4622949617468527185" The existing field "id" is still there and has the same value as "id_s" Not sure what this is for.

Perhaps "id_s" a string and "id" is an integer? This would avoid the whole bigint rounding issues in Javascript and some other languages.

Good explanation - they are formatted in that manner:
"id":4622949617468527185,
"id_s":"4622949617468527185"

I've also noticed that the id value is different than it was for my car last week. I thought it was a persistent value? Does is normally rotate like that?

It's only ever changed once for me in 2.5 years and that was the firmware upgrade that added the new long id values. Now I have to check if it's changed again.

 

[cryptyk]

Did the client ID and secret just change again? I'm getting 401 whenever I try to login to get a bearer token...

False alarm. The tesla endpoints were all down and returning 401. Now that I have a week of responses from their API under my belt, I can say with some authority that their uptime isn't great.

 

[cryptyk]

Ok. So I just verified that in some cases the vehicle id ("id") and the new id that was just added ("id_s") are different values.
One of the users of evmote has the following result from /vehicles:

...
"id": 51877202632751120,
"id_s": "51877202632751124",
...

I'm starting to think _s actually stands for something. Static? Streaming?

FYI: I just released a teslajson class for Python. I did this because pytesla was no longer working for me. You can find it at https://github.com/gglockner/teslajson. Comments & feedback welcome.

Thanks!

Is anyone successfully getting "power" from the streaming API? Powertools, an IOS app is unable to connect and VT, which connects and appears get some of the streaming values but not power, speed, or several of the others.

 

[Kalud]

There is no know issue getting the power, speed and other data from the streaming api.

I use teslalog.com and have all that available in realtime.

 

[cryptyk]

Confirmed. I get power as well in the streaming data.

Nifty. I'm trying to login with my tesla id and password but it just says "invalid account"

Doh! I think they mean Tesla Log account not My Tesla account.

Edit: OK, tried my forum login for teslalogs and that didn't work either.

 

[sorka]

So something is busted on that site. Clicking on https://teslalog.com/register.html in the token page just returns 404, so I have no way to register a new account.
