volvocarsapi 0.4.0

Python client for the Volvo Cars API.

Volvo Cars API

This python library lets you use the Volvo Cars API. Authorisation follows the OAuth 2.0 authorisation code flow with PKCE.

Requirements

You'll need a Volvo Developers account and create an API application. Make sure to fill in all required fields and write down the retrieved client id and secret.

Usage

A script is worth a thousand words.

# Retrieved at the end of the API application registration process
client_id = "abc"
client_secret = "very-secret-key"

# Scopes that have been requested during the API application registration. You can also
# use less scopes than requested.
scopes = [
    "openid",
    "conve:battery_charge_level",
    "conve:brake_status",
    "conve:climatization_start_stop",
    "conve:command_accessibility",
    "conve:commands",
    "conve:diagnostics_engine_status",
    # ...
]

# Must be excactly as entered during the API application registration
redirect_uri = "htttps://my-volvo-application.io/callback" 

# The VCC API key retrieved after the API application registration process
api_key = "abcdef-1234567890-abcdef"

client_session = _get_client_session()

# Authenticate
auth = VolvoCarsAuth(
    client_session,
    client_id=client_id,
    client_secret=client_secret,
    scopes=scopes,
    redirect_uri=redirect_uri)
auth_uri = await auth.get_auth_uri() # optionally pass state

# Redirect user to auth_uri and wait for the callback
# ...

# Extract code from the callback url
code = _get_code_from_url()
await auth.async_request_token(code)

# The VIN must be linked to the account you sign in with
vin = "YV123456789012345"

# Create API client
api = VolvoCarsApi(client_session, auth, api_key, vin)

# Make API request
engine_warnings = await api.async_get_engine_warnings()
