Please visit the DIMO Developer Documentation to learn more about building on DIMO and detailed information on the API.

Developer License

In order to build on DIMO, you’ll need to get a DIMO Developer License via the DIMO Dev Console. The DIMO Developer license is our approach and design to a more secured, decentralized access control. As a developer, you will need to perform the following steps:

1. Sign Up for an Account - You can use your Google, Github, or supported Web3 wallet to register.
2. Complete Registration - Enter the details of the application that you’re building.
3. Connect Your Wallet - In the console dashboard, connect your Web3 wallet. This will be the wallet that will pay & act as the holder of the developer license. NOTE: You must have some DIMO tokens, as well as some MATIC (for gas), to pay for the developer license.
4. Create An App - Click “Create App”, fill out the form & select your preferred environment (at this time, please select “Production” until we’re ready to launch our Sandbox environment), then hit “Create Application”. Finally, set a spending limit for your connected wallet.
5. Finish Configuring Your Application - Once your project is initialized, you’ll use your connected wallet to generate an API Key and any optional Redirect URIs.

Initiate the SDK depending on the envionrment of your interest, we currently support both Production and Dev environments:

dimo = DIMO("Production")

or

dimo = DIMO("Dev")

Authentication

In order to authenticate and access private API data, you will need to authenticate with the DIMO Auth Server. The SDK provides you with all the steps needed in the Wallet-based Authentication Flow in case you need it to build a wallet integration around it. We also offer expedited functions to streamline the multiple calls needed.

Prerequisites for Authentication

1. A valid Developer License.
2. Access to a signer wallet and its private keys. Best practice is to rotate this frequently for security purposes.

At its core, a Web3 wallet is a software program that stores private keys, which are necessary for accessing blockchain networks and conducting transactions. Unlike traditional wallets, which store physical currency, Web3 wallets store digital assets such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and NFTs.

NOTE: The signer wallet here is recommended to be different from the spender or holder wallet for your DIMO Developer License.

API Authentication

(Option 1) 3-Step Function Calls

The SDK offers 3 basic functions that maps to the steps listed in Wallet-based Authentication Flow: generate_challenge, sign_challenge, and submit_challenge. You can use them accordingly depending on how you build your application.

    challenge = dimo.auth.generate_challenge(
        client_id = '<client_id>',
        domain = '<domain>',
        address = '<address>'
    )

    signature = dimo.auth.sign_challenge(
        message = challenge['challenge'],
        private_key = '<private_key>'
    )

    tokens = dimo.auth.submit_challenge(
        client_id = '<client_id>',
        domain = '<domain>',
        state = challenge['state'],
        signature = signature
    )

(Option 2) Auth Endpoint Shortcut Function

As mentioned earlier, this is the streamlined function call to directly get the access_token. The address field in challenge generation is omitted since it is essentially the client_id of your application per Developer License:

auth_header = dimo.auth.get_token(
    client_id = '<client_id>',
    domain = '<domain>',
    private_key = '<private_key>'
)

# Store the access_token from the auth_header dictionary
access_token = auth_header["access_token"]

Querying the DIMO REST API

The SDK uses the requests library for making HTTP requests. You can perform a query like so:

def get_device_makes():
    device_makes = dimo.device_definitions.list_device_makes()
    # Do something with the response

Query Parameters

For query parameters, simply feed in an input that matches with the expected query parameters:

dimo.device_definitions.get_by_mmy(
    make="<vehicle_make>",
    model="<vehicle_model>",
    year=2024
)

Path Parameters

Path parameters work similarly - simply feed in an input, such as id.

dimo.device_definitions.get_by_id(id='26G4j1YDKZhFeCsn12MAlyU3Y2H')

Body Parameters

Privilege Tokens

As the 2nd leg of the API authentication, applications may exchange for short-lived privilege tokens for specific vehicles that granted privileges to the app. This uses the DIMO Token Exchange API.

For the end users of your application, they will need to share their vehicle permissions via the DIMO Mobile App or through your own implementation of privilege sharing functions - this should be built on the setPrivilege function of the DIMO Vehicle Smart Contract.

Typically, any endpoints that uses a NFT tokenId in path parameters will require privilege tokens. You can use this flow to obtain a privilege token.

get_priv_token = dimo.token_exchange.exchange(
    access_token, 
    # The access token you received using either the three step function calls, or the .get_token() shortcut 
    privileges=[1, 3, 4],
    # The privileges you've set for this vehicle, in list format (e.g. [1, 3, 4]) – see: https://docs.dimo.org/developer-platform/api-references/token-exchange-api/token-exchange-endpoints 
    token_id="<token_id>" 
    # The Vehicle NFT Token ID that you are requesting permission to
    )
privileged_token = get_priv_token['token']

Once you have the privilege token, you can pipe it through to corresponding endpoints like so:

dimo.device_data.get_vehicle_status(token=privilege_token, vehicle_id=<vehicle_token_id>)

Querying the DIMO GraphQL API

The SDK accepts any type of valid custom GraphQL queries, but we've also included a few sample queries to help you understand the DIMO GraphQL APIs.

Authentication for GraphQL API

The GraphQL entry points are designed almost identical to the REST API entry points. For any GraphQL API that requires auth headers (Telemetry API for example), you can use the same pattern as you would in the REST protected endpoints.

privilege_token = dimo.token_exchange.exchange(access_token, privileges=[1,3,4], token_id=<vehicle_token_id>)

telemetry = dimo.telemetry.query(
    token=privilege_token,
    query= """
        query {
            some_valid_GraphQL_query
            }
        """
    )

Send a custom GraphQL query

To send a custom GraphQL query, you can simply call the query function on any GraphQL API Endpoints and pass in any valid GraphQL query. To check whether your GraphQL query is valid, please visit our Identity API GraphQL Playground or Telemetry API GraphQL Playground.

my_query = """
    {
    vehicles (first:10) {
        totalCount
        }
    }
    """

total_network_vehicles = dimo.identity.query(query=my_query)
