The authentication doesn't boil down to just one curl command. Sorry if I gave that impression. What I did was use my web browser to authenticate, and then used the web browser's network debugging tool to capture the auth code. But it looks like now they have a check in there against the user-agent header to prevent using a web browser.
To use curl, you would have to process the HTML returned by the first URL, fill out the form, and submit it with another curl command. I just took the auth token I generated once, generated a bearer token, and then I just keep renewing the bearer token. So I can help from that point, on, but I don't have a good way to do the first part of the authentication.
@ScanxTaz I wonder if you're hitting this Captcha problem: Tesla Added a Captcha Verification on the Login Page · Discussion #390 · timdorr/tesla-api
From this:
tesla-api/docs/miscellaneous/endpoints.md at master · timdorr/tesla-api
🚘 A Ruby gem and unofficial documentation of Tesla's JSON API for the Model S, 3, X, and Y. - timdorr/tesla-api
github.com
I see:
Code:
"CHARGING_AMPS": {
"TYPE": "POST",
"URI": "api/1/vehicles/{vehicle_id}/command/set_charging_amps",
"AUTH": true
},I don't exactly how to use it, but I presume its usage is consistent with other API commands.
@ScanxTaz If you're using Windows, the Test.WPF app from GitHub - tomhollander/TeslaAuth: C# / .NET core library for authenticating to Tesla's Owner API seems like a pretty good way to do authentication, since it uses a WebView, and thus ought to be able to handle CAPTCHAs or any other weird javascript stuff the authentication server throws at you.
I switched to this library and it hasn't been working for me for roughly 2 months now.

Use command "CHARGING_AMPS" with parameter charging_amps=value (where value = between 5-32 (EU)).
Re chaging_amps, we've been chatting about it over here Adjust Tesla charge rate from mobile app, API & PW2 to allow use of excess solar but probably best to centralise API-based discussions on this thread..
tried this too, still getting a 404 in postman... most likely bcos the car's not on 2021.36 yet.. if anyone's on .36 and can verify this endpoint and parameter I'd be very interested. At least it gives us a head start coding for it before the car's FW drops.
me too, i just tried it, didnt work. I think Tesla updated their login page so it doesn't take the "credentials" form post field automatically anymore and has to be key'ed in, which of course doesnt work since it's a HttpClient that runs on backend and doesnt present a window. maybe Tom will update the code later. For now I'm just generating oauth2.0 tokens via Postman and using it till it expires - then repeat. Hopefully this gets fixed soon.
From the README:
Have you tried Test.WPF? As I said earlier, that's what I used to test the library, and it did work. I don't think the library will get updated to accommodate every change that Tesla makes to the login page. You'll have to use a webview, or similar. Fortunately, once you gotten a renewal token, you can keep the session alive forever and never repeat the login step.
Yes, your car need to be on FW 2021.36 or newer for it to work. I'm on this version, and here it works fine after I found the right parameter to send with the command.
Can also see the changes in the Tesla mobile app "on the fly" when the car is charging and you adjust the Amp setting via your app.
I don't have visual studio installed, and I would prefer to not install it...
Not possible to compile a small executable with the demo in it pleasssse ???
I only need a token to setup my connection into openhab, it's a bit overkill to install vStudio for that no ?
Personally, I wouldn't trust a binary from a random stranger on the internet... but I can probably find a way to send it to you, if you really want.
Yeah, I know you're right, and even if you are really nice with me, I must confess I would have some difficulties to use it...
I don't understand what's goin on with this... I'll finally install VStudio, even if I wanted to avoid to do this...

Just remember to install Visual Studio Community Edition, not Visual Studio Code.
I was developing a local streaming application and using the vehicle_data endpoint to get some data. During some testing, I received a "not found" error from the endpoint.
I discovered, after some investigation, that the id_s of my vehicle changed. I found it odd because I've had the same id_s since I took ownership over 18 months ago. Anyone else see their id_s change?

Hey Markb1,
Could you please provide me some help in using the test.wpf ? I'm not able to run it properly, VStudio always say that I'm missing libraries and so on... I guess I need to put VStudio in a specific "development mode" (webapp for instance), but I can't find the correct way to do so...
Thanks for your help already...
Hmm.. what libraries is it complaining about? Be sure to check ".NET desktop development" under the workloads tab in the Visual Studio installer. (Since you've already installed it, you can run the installer again from your start menu and click the modify button to add or remove features.) I think that should get you everything you need for this app.
Also, be sure to set Test.WPF as the startup project. (It should be bold in the Solution Explorer. If not, right click on it, and select "Set as Startup Project". Then it's just a matter of starting it from the Debug menu (either Start or Start Without Debugging). That will build it and run it.
