An unofficial library that wraps the Tesla Owner's API

Warning!

This package was created for personal use!

Ever since Tesla changed its authentication mechanism mid 2021, I used a forked fix from https://www.npmjs.com/package/teslajs which mitigated that issue.

However, since January 22nd, 2023 that fix no longer worked and threw a HTTP 412 Precondition Failed error upon retrieving vehicle details. It appeared I'm not the only one suffering from that issue (see for instance issue teslamate-org/teslamate#3629)

And since the teslajs package seems no longer maintained, I took the plunge and created a simple package which suits my needs.

The most notable change is that getting vehicle data no longer works the old way (via GET /api/1/vehicles?page={page}).

Therefore, I'm now retrieving the products (via GET /api/1/products?orders=true) and in my specific case that returns an array of exactly one product, my vehicle :-)

As such, when you own more products (Tesla Wall, Solar, or multiple cars), you may want to adapt this package.

Simply use

npm i @qualiture/tesla-api

import TeslaAPI from "@qualiture/tesla-api";

const api = new TeslaAPI("<your access token>");

// Retrieves owner info
const owner = await api.getUser();

// Retrieves vehicle(s) info
const vehicles = await api.getOwnerVehicles();

// Retrieves vehicle data for first vehicle
const vehicleData = await api.getVehicleData(vehicles[0].id);

The library contains type definitions, so you could use it directly into your TypeScript project.

Have fun!
