Smartcar API
Connect vehicles to the rest of your business with ease.
This API is best for developers who want to build automotive applications that connect with several car brands and models at scale.
Smartcar is perfect for developers building automotive applications to help drivers access their vehicle data, such as location, fuel level, mileage, and more. With Smartcar, developers can easily create features like remote control of car locks, engine start and stop, and even vehicle maintenance reminders. This API allows developers to be innovative and create app-driven solutions helping businesses optimize their fleets and consumers be safer and more productive drivers.

Potential use cases
- Car-sharing service: Develop an app allowing users to rent a car for a specific time frame and skip the rental desk. Smartcar's unlock and lock feature would give access to a user’s personal fleet by using stored credentials in the app.
- Fuel-efficiency tracker: Build an app to track how efficiently a car is being driven. Utilize the car’s real-time fuel level and tracking locational data to monitor driving behavior and give personalized recommendations in-app to help decrease fuel costs.
- Auto-insurance monitoring: Create an app that monitors how a car is being driven for automative safety purposes to decrease the insurance premium rates. Use data from Smartcar to track vehicle safety data, issue alerts for events like high-speed driving, frequent lane changes, and driver fatigue
Smartcar is a game-changer for our business – we can now connect our drivers with their vehicles seamlessly, and we wouldn't be able to provide the quality of service we do and keep our costs low without Smartcar's API.
