Test requests

Before launching your integration, we recommend using Smartcar’s test mode to test your application on a simulated vehicle.

Test successful API requests

1. Enabling test mode

   When launching Smartcar Connect, pass in the query parameter mode=test to enable test mode. Smartcar’s SDKs provide a convenient boolean to facilitate this:

2. Log into a simulated connected services account:

   Click on any vehicle brand and log in with any email address (anything@anything.com) and any password.

3. Send an API request to the simulated vehicle. Our API will return randomized data for each vehicle endpoint. See our API reference to learn more about the randomized data you should expect.
