This guide explains how to use the Smartcar API to enhance charging station discoverability by leveraging vehicle data such as state of charge,  battery level, range, and location. These capabilities allow developers to help EV drivers find nearby charging stations based on real-time vehicle data.

Charging station utilization

This guide outlines how charge point operators can utilize the Smartcar API to implement plug-and-charge capabilities, enabling automatic billing and session management through vehicle identification and charging data.

Enabling simplified payments

This guide explains how to use the Smartcar API to proactively automate preventive maintenance scheduling. By leveraging data such as odometer readings, engine oil life, Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs), and system status, you can reduce vehicle downtime, improve reliability, and enhance customer satisfaction.

Preventive maintenance scheduling

This guide explains how to use the Smartcar API to provide real-time vehicle diagnostics by leveraging data such as Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs), overall system health, and odometer readings. These capabilities allow developers and service providers to proactively identify issues, schedule service visits, and reduce vehicle downtime.

What is Connect?

Our SDKs make integrating Smartcar fast and easy in different languages and frameworks.

Build the Connect URL

Upon successfully accepting the permissions, Smartcar will redirect the user back to your application using the specified `REDIRECT_URI`, along with an authorization code as a query parameter. In the case of on error, we'll provide an error and description as parameters instead.

Handle the Response

Auth Code Exchange

After fetching your first token pair, you'll need to manage them in order to maintain access to the vehicle.

Your access token will expire **2 hours** after it is issued. When this happens, your application  can retrieve a new one by using the corresponding `REFRESH_TOKEN`.

Refreshing Access Tokens

Refresh tokens expire after **60 days ordinarily** or **after 1 minute when used to fetch a new token pair**.

Refreshing Refresh Tokens

Redirect to Connect

If the re-auth is successful, the redirect to your application will contain a vehicle ID. In the case of an error, we'll provide an error and description as parameters instead.

To support vehicle commands such as lock/unlock or start/stop charge, Rivian requires a mobile device to be paired via Bluetooth with the vehicle.

To support vehicle commands such as lock/unlock or start/stop charge, and benefit from faster data frequencies, Tesla requires a Virtual Key to be added to the vehicle.

Connect can be launched with three different workflows. Depending on your use case and what information you have about the vehicle ahead of a launching Connect, you may be able to leverage one of these flows for a more streamlined Connect experience.

Connect Flows

Modes

By default Connect will launch based on the devices location impacting the brands that are available to the user e.g. Renault is only available in Europe.
