Smartcar offers a suite of APIs that let you connect to vehicles, retrieve data, and send remote commands securely. You can integrate with Smartcar using our REST APIs and official SDKs for backend and frontend platforms. The Vehicles API is designed primarily for exploration and non-frequent data retrieval. This API is not designed for continuous polling or real-time monitoring. Data is typically updated once every 24 hours unless the vehicle is actively subscribed to a webhook, which enables more frequent updates. For most use cases, you should avoid polling the Vehicles API at high frequency leverage webhooks instead.
For production use, always perform token exchanges and vehicle requests on your backend using a supported SDK.
