Model S REST API

[dpskipper]

This is what I'm using in VB:
Pano Roof:
https://owner-api.teslamotors.com/api/1/vehicles/" & CarID & "/command/sun_roof_control?state=open?vehicle_id=" & CarID

AC Temps:
https://owner-api.teslamotors.com/api/1/vehicles/" & CarID & "/command/set_temps?passenger_temp=27&driver_temp=25?vehicle_id=" & CarID

Custom Charge Limit:
https://owner-api.teslamotors.com/api/1/vehicles/" & CarID & "/command/set_charge_limit?percent=80?vehicle_id=" & CarID

All other commands work so my syntax must be wrong.

 

[fact200]

Take out that second "?vehicle_id=" and see what happens. That's not valid URL syntax (the first ? designates url parameters....subsequent ones screw things up).

 

[dpskipper]

I did as you asked and tried it on the sun roof, no change.

I'm trying to start writing some code, but when I try my code, as well as the Tesla Model S JSON API console, I get a 404 on the oauth call. This is what I'm using:

https://owner-api.teslamotors.com/o...fb9d220&[email protected]&password=123456789

What am I missing?

Note: My car is in transit, and not connected to the app yet.

You're also supplying the parameters on the URL. Try putting them in the content body.

If the app can't log in, the API won't let you in. They use the same mechanism.

I see that I wasn't specific. The app that won't let me login is the Visiible Tesla app--it says to check user id and password. I verified that my code and the Visible Tesla app both go to the same IP address. The Official iPhone Tesla app lets me login, but says "no vehicles attached." I don't have a packet sniffer for the iPhone.

@dkskipper
You have way too many &'s in there. Assuming that the Vehicle ID is 1 and you want it open 20%, it should look like:

https://owner-api.teslamotors.com/api/1/vehicles/1/command/sun_roof_control?state=open&percent=20

And the access code should be in the header.

@dkskipper
Please ignore what I said preceding. As Fact200 said, the parameters for the commands are in the content body, not the URL. Commands require a HTTP Post, rather than a Get.

 

[LastGas]

I changed MY code to do a Post rather than a Get, and now it works with the mock server, but it still gives a 404 accessing 'https://owner-api.teslamotors.com'.

That I all know. Every command but the aforementioned ones work.

Which request? If you don't have any vehicles returned by the API, all the commands will fail with a 404.

I've tried what you said using the exact URL you specified with the same result.

Hey all,

Released an Android bypass for the certificate pinning the official app is using, you can now sniff network traffic through the official app again.

Commands sun roof control, set temps, and set charge limit don't use query parameters, they use a JSON body for each parameter.

So I've added in state and percent as headers in my call with no luck. If someone could provide an example that would be great. (No cURL please only VB)

JSON-formatted parameters in the body, not the header. We can't provide a VB sample without knowing what web library you're using. If you're struggling despite knowing this information, we won't be of much help without writing it all for you. Look for a 'setBody' method and assign the JSON serialized string of your parameters.

Ok, I'm using system.net as my library with http.webrequest.create to make my call

Dim request = TryCast(System.Net.WebRequest.Create("https://owner-api.teslamotors.com/api/1/vehicles/" & CarID & "/command/sun_roof_control"), System.Net.HttpWebRequest)

request.Method = "POST"

request.Headers.Add("authorization", "Bearer " + AccessToken)

request.ContentLength = 0
Dim responseContent As String
Using response = TryCast(request.GetResponse(), System.Net.HttpWebResponse)
Using reader = New System.IO.StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream())
responseContent = reader.ReadToEnd()
MessageBox.Show(responseContent)
End Using
End Using

request.SetBody is not a member of httpwebrequest so I'm unsure as to where to include my body.
I know my way around VB but never until now worked with APIs.

I'm by no means an expert in coding web interfaces in .net, but I think you need the HttpWebRequest.GetRequestStream method.

• put the content of your request body in a string variable
• set the content type with HttpWebRequest.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
• set the content length with HttpWebRequest.ContentLength
• define a stream with HttpWebRequest.GetRequestStream()
• write your body variable to the stream with Stream.Write()
• close the stream

see: HttpWebRequest.GetRequestStream Method (System.Net)

however, if you're handling a lot of JSON, then you may find it easier to use a JSON framework, such as GitHub - JamesNK/Newtonsoft.Json: Json.NET is a popular high-performance JSON framework for .NET

But this is me just googling a bit ... I'm not a .net coder.

THANK YOU!

Your help is invaluable. Using your brief description of how to do it with some trial and error I had success.

For anybody who wants to know here is the code I used:
Dim encoding As New ASCIIEncoding()
Dim Bytes As Byte() = encoding.GetBytes(BodyText)


request.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"

request.ContentLength = Bytes.Length

Dim Stream = request.GetRequestStream()
Stream.Write(Bytes, 0, Bytes.Length)
Stream.Close()
