Vehicle Data API
The Vehicle Data API is an open API for retrieving vehicle data. It securely provides telematics data generated by Hyundai, Kia, and Genesis connected cars within the scope of data-sharing consent.
This API protects users' vehicle data while supporting secure and responsible data sharing. This allows users to access data generated by their vehicles and provide the vehicle data to third parties authorized by the user to receive it.
User types
The Vehicle Data API supports the following two user types.
| Type | Get started |
|---|---|
| Private Users | For Private Users |
| Business Users | For Business Users |
Available data
The Vehicle Data API provides vehicle status information and vehicle basic data.
-
Vehicle status information
- Includes charging status, powertrain status, vehicle location, driving status, sensor-based status, and climate control.
- Business Users: This data becomes available immediately after data-sharing consent is obtained from the vehicle owner.
- Private Users: Because this is the user's own vehicle, this data becomes available immediately after obtaining an API key, without data-sharing consent.
-
Vehicle basic data
- Includes powertrain basic data, speed-related basic data, driving-related basic data, and sensor-based basic data.
- Business Users: This data becomes available 24 hours after data-sharing consent is obtained from the vehicle owner.
- Private Users: Because this is the user's own vehicle, this data becomes available immediately after obtaining an API key, without data-sharing consent.
The data available for each vehicle type and model is described in API Compatibility.

Authentication
The Vehicle Data API uses an OAuth 2.0–based token authentication method.
You must obtain an access token and include it in the Authorization header of subsequent requests.
Authentication flows and Authentication & Authorization APIs differ by user type.
| Type | Authentication guide |
|---|---|
| Private Users | For Private Users |
| Business Users | For Business Users |
Available Regions
As of August 2026, the Vehicle Data API is only available in Europe. The Pleos Playground feature for issuing My Vehicle API keys to Private Users is available only in Europe. Services in other regions are in preparation.
