Developer friendly API for Kia vehicles in Europe

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 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.

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
