A developer friendly API for
Kia
vehicles

Mobility apps and services use Smartcar’s API to verify mileage, manage EV charging, track fleets, and more. Our API platform allows vehicle owners to log in with their Kia Connect 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 Kia vehicles. Easily retrieve data and trigger actions with our simple and secure API for Kia vehicles. Our Kia API endpoints enable you to manage charging, track location, verify mileage, and much more.

The Smartcar difference

Instead of building your own Kia integration, Smartcar's integration offers mobility businesses a range of benefits:

  • Compatible with 36 car brands

    A powerful developer experience

    Customizable, collaborative, and user-friendly features for faster development. Our developer tools include robust docs, 8 SDKs, consent management, test simulators, dashboard insights, and more.

  • Compatible with 36 car brands

    Extensive vehicle support and growth

    Integrate once and maintain a single integration across 39 car brands in North America and Europe.

  • Compatible with 36 car brands

    A commitment to consumer data privacy

    A granular permissions system that enhances data protection and transparency for vehicle owners.

The best way to build apps for
Kia
vehicles

Our RESTful API for Kia 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.
