Model S REST API

[dpskipper]

Quick question, I was wondering the other day how the API reacts to an account with more than one Tesla? More specifically how does it format the JSON response? For example, the API call for getting the car info such as ID and Display name, how would the API separate the independent values? Is is comma separated?
An example I thought of below:

"response": [{
"color": null,
"display_name": null,
"id": 321,
"option_codes": "MS01,RENA,TM00,DRLH,PF00,BT85,PBCW,RFPO,WT19,IBMB,IDPB,TR00,SU01,SC01,TP01,AU01,CH00,HP00,PA00,PS00,AD02,X020,X025,X001,X003,X007,X011,X013",
"user_id": 123,123,
"vehicle_id": CAR1ID,CAR2ID,
"vin": "CAR1VIN","CAR2VIN",
"tokens": ["x", "x"],
"state": "online","offline"
}],
"count":2
}

It returns a JSON array of values, one for each car.

How do you tell if climate is on or off via the API? Do you use Climate Settings - fan_status and if fan_status > 0 then the fan is on and if it is 0 then the fan is off?

Anyone have the JSON payload for a valid calendar update? I can't seem to get it working.

That's how I do it, but they also added a is_climate_on field in 8.0. I haven't looked over it in depth but appears to work the same way.

I didn't see that in the API docs - is that website (Tesla Model S JSON API · Apiary) still being updated? If not where is the best current info?

I don't think Tim Dorr is updating those docs. So any new API endpoints are to be discovered by us and documented on this thread. As to the new is_climate_on field, I have done some testing and it seems to be broken just like the older field. Both seem to stay on false all the time.

We should come up with a better way than having them in this thread as useful info will get buried in a huge thread. Can someone fork the Apiary site and maintain it?

I'm using Homeseer, Home automation software, to control my Tesla.

Honk the horn works with:
&hs.URLAction("https://owner-api.teslamotors.com/api/1/vehicles/XXXXXXXXXXX/command/honk_horn" , "POST", "", "Authorization: Bearer XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX")

But when i try to set the temp, the temp changes to LO:

&hs.URLAction("https://owner-api.teslamotors.com/a...et_temps?driver_temp=25.0&passenger_temp=25.0" , "POST", "", "Authorization: Bearer XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX")

And the same thing for the Pano Roof, it doesn't move:

&hs.URLAction("https://owner-api.teslamotors.com/a...ommand/sun_roof_control?state=open&percent=50" , "POST", "", "Authorization: Bearer XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX")

Any ideas?

Attaching the query to the URL is not how you do a POST. That's how you do a GET.

Okay thank you for your explanation.

But I still have no clue how to get in done.

Do you have an example for me?

I don't have HomeSeer, but I'm going to take a wild guess that it's like this:

&hs.URLAction("https://owner-api.teslamotors.com/api/1/vehicles/XXXXXXXXXXX/command/set_temps" , "POST", "driver_temp=25.0&passenger_temp=25.0", "Authorization: Bearer XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX")

AllenWong,

Thank you very much, that did the trick!!

I'm having the same issue as you. In terms of Pano roof, temps, valet mode etc the vars are sent in the body to the server.

Did you try the solution of AllenWong?

 

[brianman]

Hrm. My logger just stopped working. Session login is popping an error.

Edit: New refresh_token comes back from login. My logger was picky, rejecting this new n/v pair.

 

[dpskipper]

Did you try the solution of AllenWong?

You don't understand. Everything works fine for me except temps, which was not the solution Allen provided.

How do you deauthorize a token for the Tesla API?

 

[Prefect]

How do you deauthorize a token for the Tesla API?

You change your mytesla-password. All tokens will get invalidated.

Hi folks, are there any tricks to getting data for inside/outside temps? Below is what I am getting...

[inside_temp] = []
[outside_temp] = []
[driver_temp_setting] = [24.4]
[passenger_temp_setting] = [24.4]
