Today, we’re thrilled to introduce v2.0 of the Smartcar API. This major update features enhanced error reporting, extensive error guides, a new API changelog, and improved Smartcar webhooks.
Smartcar’s API and webhooks now return errors in an updated format. We introduced new error types and codes that allow developers to investigate Smartcar errors more easily. v2.0 errors are also more specific and detailed than our v1.0 errors.
Alongside our new and improved API errors, we published extensive documentation that guides developers through understanding, troubleshooting, and testing v2.0 errors. We also included suggested user messages for all user-facing errors.
Smartcar’s webhooks also received updates to verification and event payloads. The verification payload now includes the ID of the requested webhook and an `eventName` property. The `challenge` and `vehicles` properties are now nested under a `payload` property.
The above updates are only the first round of changes to Smartcar v2.0. Visit our new API changelog to stay tuned as we refine this version and prepare it for a wider release.
Both existing and new Smartcar customers can now use v2.0 of the Smartcar API by following these steps:
