A developer friendly API for BMW vehicles

Mobility apps and services use Smartcar’s APIs to verify their customers’ mileage, issue digital car keys, manage EV charging, and track fleets. Our platform allows your customers with compatible BMW vehicles to log in with their BMW ConnectedDrive account and connect their car to your app in just a few clicks.

What is Smartcar?

Smartcar enables developers to integrate their apps and services with BMW vehicles. Easily retrieve data and trigger actions with our simple and secure API for BMW vehicles. BMW API endpoints enable you to manage charging, track location, verify mileage, and much more.

The best way to build apps for BMW vehicles

Our RESTful API for BMW is fast, reliable, and easy to use with every tech stack. No matter which framework your mobile or web app is built in, our documentation and SDKs support every major language.

const smartcar = require('smartcar');

// Get all vehicles associated with this access token
const {vehicles} = await smartcar.getVehicles("<access-token>");

// Construct a new vehicle instance using the first vehicle's id
const vehicle = new smartcar.Vehicle(vehicles[0], "<access-token>");

// Fetch the vehicle's location
const location = await vehicle.location();

// Example http response from Smartcar
{
  "latitude": 37.4292,
  "longitude": 122.1381
