Model S REST API

[kwenix]

I can confirm this, data is pooring back into my streaming database.
Looks like this was a maintenance 'black-out', phew...

hmm now I get "HTTP 408: request timeout.." and no data anymore ?!

 

[FlasherZ]

I know of no where else in the API that you can get the odometer reading.

I concur. The mobile app doesn't use/display/leverage it, either.

Just a little odd that something as relatively static as ODO would be limited to the streaming interface. Unless one is on the autobahn the ODO changes at around once every 45s.

I was surprised by this too. I can see why they include it in the streaming api, but having it in the drive_state would be useful.drive_state also contains gps coords and speed, so having odometer doesn't seem like it would be a stretch.

There are quite a few aspects of the API that indicate that it was designed rather, err, quickly. The distribution of information is rather poorly laid out, the streaming methodology used is rather poor and of course there's the authentication.
I have tried repeatedly to get them to enter a conversation into how to improve the next version but have been rather strongly rebuffed each time.

Something has changed because the last time I checked all three Tesla HTTPS URLs reported "timeout".
Now the main website and the streaming URL report "SAFE" from the Heartbleed OpenSSL bug.
REST API URL is still inconclusive.

I am curious in this REST API - I have read through alot of these threads, but is there a doc share or something that I can read to get the details of the API?

This is the one to start with

Anyone know what has changed with the streaming api? I'm no longer getting an array of data when the car is parked and awake.

I am still getting data. I did notice that the HTTP long poll interval changed from 2 minutes to 5 minutes but I think that change was made a while ago. If you are only waiting for 120 seconds on a poll and expecting data then just try waiting longer and you should see something.

I'm confused by your use of the word array here. Do you mean the comma-separated rows stop arriving?

 

[J in MN]

Long poll interval is still 2 minutes for me.

I've been relying on streaming.js and for some reason data isn't being deposited into the database. You're right I do see data coming in on command line. Are you still getting data put in mongo?

I am. I have been running streaming.js on Heroku (for free) for many weeks and it's been putting the data into mongodb hosted at MongoLabs (also for free) continuously.

Must be somehow my database got corrupted. I started a new one and everything seems to be working again. Thanks.

OK, apologies again - maybe I'm thick-headed here. I can curl and get tokens and get the car to talk to me, but does anyone already have a script that automatically refreshes the tokens without interrupting the streaming data feed?

Ideally I'd like to be able to say "stream data from my car for the next XXX minutes, and dump it to a CSV file named YYY". This seems like it should be simple enough, but I haven't found the magic words yet... (I'm doing this on a very basic linux VPS, so I'm trying to work strictly within BASH/curl for the tools)...

Apologies for the question, as the answer might well be somewhere in the 800 posts in this thread but I couldn't find it easily. I'm looking for an explanation (or even better, an example) of how to periodically refresh the tokens using curl so that you can stream data indefinitely. I've got enough programming background to understand all the control flow, etc - it's just not entirely clear how you do the token refresh/cycling/whatever part.

And since I don't have my car (yet!) I can't actually test it to figure out what it does...

if anyone has a script (perl, python, bash) that implements this, I'm sure it will become obvious as soon as I see the code. ;-)

I'm sure it's possible to do this entirely in a bash shell script but i don't know that anyone has written one yet and it would be a lot more work than simply installing one of the existing tools that already produces steaming data into a CSV file.

So I used the iPhone app yesterday and I was getting 3 updates on the moving map per second, including throttle and speed.

Is streaming working again?


update, I'm also getting streaming data again via streaming.js

Yup. It's been working again for a few days now...
