Volvo Cars’ new platform for innovation

Getting there...

Your Applications

Link copied

Latest information of any connected Volvo vehicle remotely. Below guide describes Extended Vehicle API and how to integrate your app.

Overview

Link copied

The Extended Vehicle API allows you to get latest information of the vehicle such as distance driven, fuel level, windows and doors, rooftop or sunroof and light status of any connected Volvo vehicles remotely. Below is a step-by-step guide that shows you how to use the Extended Vehicle API and how to get onboarded.

For advanced usage, you can find detailed information about parameters within the specification or below within the documentation section. You can also download the OpenAPI specification as a JSON file to generate clients from it.

App Settings

Link copied

Listed below are the settings that you need to keep in your application and use when you want to perform a request towards the Extended Vehicle API, OAuth settings will be provided once your application request has been reviewed and approved.

FieldDescription

Client ID

The unique identifier of your application used with OAuth.

Client Secret

The secret key of your application used with OAuth, store this securely and never expose it to the public.

vcc-api-key

The unique identifier of your application used in API calls.

Authorization

Link copied

In each request against the API a valid access token is needed, read more about the authorization flow here.

To test your application you can also use our generated access tokens. These can be found here.

API information

Link copied

The Extended Vehicle API will provide the possibility for accredited 3rd party applications to access vehicle status remotely. In this section you will find information about all of the endpoints exposed by the API with information such as example requests and responses.

1 - Get vehicle list

Link copied

Provides all current valid relations between a Volvo ID (users account) and its connected vehicles. Returns a list of VIN numbers together with timestamp of relation.

Required scopes:

"vehicle:attributes"

FieldDescription

id

Vehicle identifier, usually a VIN

timestamp

The time when the latest value was received, the time is displayed in milliseconds.

Example Request

curl -X GET 'https://api.volvocars.com/extended-vehicle/v1/vehicles' \
-H 'accept: application/json' \
-H 'authorization: Bearer <insert-the-access-token-here>' \
-H 'vcc-api-key: <insert-api-key-here>'

Example Response

{
  "vehicles": [
    {
      "timestamp": 1603032970144,
