The Vehicles API v2.0 will be deprecated by Q3 of 2026. We recommend migrating to the latest version as soon as possible to ensure continued support and access to new features.
2.0 is still the only supported version for sending remote commands. If you need to send commands, please continue using v2.0 until commands are supported in the latest version later this year.
The Smartcar Vehicles API v2.0 is the previous version of our core API for accessing standardized vehicle data and current version for sending remote commands. It allows developers to:
  • Retrieve real-time vehicle signals (e.g., battery level, odometer, fuel, tire pressure)
  • Send remote commands (lock/unlock, start/stop charging, etc.)
All requests to v2.0 require an OAuth2 access token, which is obtained by having the vehicle owner authorize your app via Smartcar Connect.
