Tesla API and Google Script

[MichaelR.]

Hello everybody,
i try to access the Tesla API via Google Script.

Getting a token via Google Script works without any problem (i've tried the token with another program).
But as soon as i try to access the url "https://owner-api.teslamotors.com/api/1/vehicles" for example, i get an 401 error.

Here is the code (i know it's not good code, but i'm still starting with this )

function access_token(token) {
  var url = "https://owner-api.teslamotors.com/oauth/token";
 
  var data = {
    'grant_type': 'password',
    'client_id': '81527cff06843c8634fdc09e8ac0abefb46ac849f38fe1e431c2ef2106796384',
    'client_secret': 'c7257eb71a564034f9419ee651c7d0e5f7aa6bfbd18bafb5c5c033b093bb2fa3',
    'email': '<email>',
    'password': '<password>'
  };
 
  var headers = {
    "contentType": "application/json",
    'payload' : JSON.stringify(data)
  };
 
  var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url, headers);
  var access_token = JSON.parse(response.getContentText())
  return access_token["access_token"]
}

function list(){
  var headers = {
    "User-Agent": "Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android 9.0.0; VS985 4G Build/LRX21Y; wv) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Chrome/58.0.3029.83 Mobile Safari/537.36",
    "X-Tesla-User-Agent": "TeslaApp/3.4.4-350/fad4a582e/android/9.0.0",
    "contentType": "application/json",
    "authorization": "Bearer " + access_token(),
  }
 
  var url = "https://owner-api.teslamotors.com/api/1/vehicles"
 
  var carlist = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url, headers)
  Logger.log(carlist)
}

I want to try to add the car data directly into a google sheet.

Hopefully somebody of you can help me

Greetings,
Michael

It's very likely due to CORS blocking in the browser.

You might want to remove your id and secret from your post...

You might want to remove your id and secret from your post...

That's not his ID and password, that's Tesla's and is the same for anyone who is using this unofficial API. His credentials (user/pw) are entered to get a unique token.

I think your syntax is wrong. Try:

var options = {
'headers': {insert your headers here}
};

var url = 'https://owner-api.teslamotors.com/api/1/vehicles';

var carlist = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url, options);
