leapmotor-api 0.3.0

Unofficial Python client for the Leapmotor vehicle cloud API

leapmotor-api

Unofficial Python client for the Leapmotor vehicle cloud API.

Extracted from the leapmotor-ha Home Assistant integration to provide a reusable, framework-agnostic library.

Acknowledgments

Special thanks to Jakob Kern for the impressive reverse engineering work on the Leapmotor application and for generously sharing his work.

Installation

pip install leapmotor-api

Certificates

The library requires the Leapmotor app certificate and private key to authenticate API requests. Download them from the dedicated repository:

wget https://github.com/markoceri/leapmotor-certs/archive/refs/tags/v1.0.0.zip
unzip v1.0.0.zip

The extracted folder contains app_cert.pem and app_key.pem. Pass their paths to the client via app_cert_path and app_key_path.

Quick Start

from leapmotor_api import LeapmotorApiClient

client = LeapmotorApiClient(
    username="[e-mail]",
    password="password",
    app_cert_path="/path/to/app_cert.pem",
    app_key_path="/path/to/app_key.pem",
)

client.login()
vehicles = client.get_vehicle_list()

for vehicle in vehicles:
    status = client.get_vehicle_status(vehicle)
    print(f"{vehicle.vin} — Battery: {status.battery.soc}% — Range: {status.battery.expected_mileage} km")

client.close()

Async Usage

from leapmotor_api import LeapmotorApiClient
from leapmotor_api.async_client import AsyncLeapmotorApiClient

sync_client = LeapmotorApiClient(
    username="[e-mail]",
    password="password",
    app_cert_path="/path/to/app_cert.pem",
    app_key_path="/path/to/app_key.pem",
)
client = AsyncLeapmotorApiClient(sync_client)

await client.login()
vehicles = await client.get_vehicle_list()
status = await client.get_vehicle_status(vehicles[0])
await client.close()

Vehicle Status

get_vehicle_status() returns a VehicleStatus dataclass with typed sub-objects:

Sub-object	Key fields
status.battery	soc, expected_mileage, charge_state, is_charging, is_charge_fast_gun_insert, is_charge_slow_gun_insert, charging_power_kw, battery_power, dump_energy_kwh, charge_plan.*
status.driving	speed, total_mileage, gear_status, is_parked
status.location	latitude, longitude
status.climate	ac_switch, ac_setting, outdoor_temp, interior_temp, ac_operate_mode, ac_air_volume, ac_cooling_and_heating
status.doors	is_locked, bbcm_back_door_status
status.windows	left_front_window_percent, right_front_window_percent, sun_shade
status.tires	front_left_bar, front_right_bar, rear_left_bar, rear_right_bar, all_ok
status.connectivity	bluetooth_state, hotspot_state
status.seat_comfort	driver_seat_heating, driver_seat_ventilation, steering_wheel_heating
status.security	vehicle_security_active, sentry_mode, roof_opening
status.ignition	bcm_key_position_on1, bcm_key_position_on3

Top-level convenience properties: status.is_locked, status.is_plugged, status.is_charging, status.is_parked, status.is_driving, status.is_regening, status.tire_pressure_bar.

All fields are T | None — they are populated only when the vehicle reports the corresponding signal.

For raw API data, use get_vehicle_raw_status() or access status.raw.

Charging History

from datetime import date, timedelta

result = client.get_charging_daily_detail(
    vehicle.vin,
    start_time=date.today() - timedelta(days=90),
    end_time=date.today(),
    timezone="GMT+01:00",
    page_size=50,
)
for record in result.records:
    charge_kind = "DC (fast)" if record.is_fast_charge else "AC (normal)"
    print(f"{record.start_datetime} -> {record.end_datetime}  {charge_kind}  {record.energy_kwh} kWh")

ChargeRecord fields: start_ts, end_ts, charge_type (ChargeType.AC / ChargeType.DC), energy_kwh, longitude, latitude, timezone.
Convenience properties: start_datetime, end_datetime, duration_seconds, is_fast_charge.

Energy Consumption Statistics

# Last week energy breakdown (driving, A/C, other)
breakdown = client.get_consumption_last_week_breakdown(vehicle)
print(f"Driver: {breakdown.driver_ec} kWh, AC: {breakdown.ac_ec} kWh, Other: {breakdown.other_ec} kWh")
print(f"Total: {breakdown.total_ec} kWh")

# Six-week consumption history and ranking
weekly_rank = client.get_consumption_weekly_rank(vehicle)
print(f"Rank: {weekly_rank.rank.rank}, Avg: {weekly_rank.rank.hundred_km_ec} kWh/100km")
for week in weekly_rank.weekly:
    print(f"  {week.week_start} ~ {week.week_end}: {week.hundred_km_ec} kWh/100km")

Vehicle Permissions

The Vehicle object exposes the Leapmotor 3-tier permission system as typed enums:

Field	Type	Description
vehicle.abilities	list[VehicleAbility]	Hardware feature flags (what the vehicle can do)
vehicle.rights	list[VehicleRight]	Remote command permissions (what the account can execute)
vehicle.module_rights	list[ModuleRight]	Macro sharing categories

from leapmotor_api import VehicleAbility, VehicleRight

vehicle = vehicles[0]

# Check capabilities
if vehicle.has_right(VehicleRight.WINDOWS):
    client.open_windows(vehicle.vin)

if vehicle.has_ability(VehicleAbility.NAVIGATION):
    client.send_destination(vehicle.vin, ...)

# Inspect permissions
for right in vehicle.rights:
    print(f"{right.name} ({right.value}): {right.description}")

Remote commands automatically log a warning when the vehicle may lack the required permission, but still proceed (the server enforces permissions authoritatively).

Remote Control

Remote actions require the vehicle PIN (operation_password):

client = LeapmotorApiClient(..., operation_password="1234")
client.login()

client.lock_vehicle("WLM...")
client.unlock_vehicle("WLM...")

    end_time="07:00",
    cycles="1,2,3,4,5,6,7",
    circulation=1,
)
client.unlock_charger("WLM...")

[!TIP] Consider creating a shared/secondary account in the Leapmotor app and sharing the vehicle with it. This avoids conflicts with your primary account sessions (e.g. being logged out from the phone app or temporary account locks on Leapmotor's servers).

Configuration

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
username	str	—	Leapmotor account email
password	str	—	Leapmotor account password
app_cert_path	str	—	Path to app certificate PEM
app_key_path	str	—	Path to app private key PEM
operation_password	str | None	None	Vehicle PIN (required for remote control)
language	str	"en-GB"	API language (en-GB, it-IT, de-DE, fr-FR, …)
verify_ssl	bool	False	Verify server TLS certificate
base_url	str	DEFAULT_BASE_URL	API base URL
timeout	int	30	HTTP timeout in seconds
device_id	str | None	None	Custom device ID (auto-generated if omitted)

Token refresh is handled automatically — all methods detect expired tokens and transparently refresh or re-login. See token_refresh() for manual control.
