Python API for the Volkswagen WeConnect Services. If you are not a developer and ended up here you probably want to check out a project using this library (see below).

## Projects in which the library is used
- [VWsFriend](https://github.com/tillsteinbach/VWsFriend): VWsFriend records statistics about your car (charging sessions, battery, trips, fueling, etc.) and displays them nicely. It also allows you to forward data from the car to other applications such as [A better routeplanner](https://abetterrouteplanner.com/) and allows you to integrate your car into [Apple HomeKit](https://www.apple.com/ios/home/)
- [WeConnect-cli](https://github.com/tillsteinbach/WeConnect-cli): A commandline interface to interact with WeConnect
- [WeConnect-MQTT](https://github.com/tillsteinbach/WeConnect-mqtt): A MQTT Client that provides WeConnect data to the MQTT Broker of your choice (e.g. your home automation solution such as [ioBroker](https://www.iobroker.net), [FHEM](https://fhem.de) or [Home Assistant](https://www.home-assistant.io))

## WARNING
Use this API with care. If you use it wrong (e.g. too many logins, repeated login attempts with wrong password, ...) your account may get blocked.

## Install
```
pip3 install weconnect[Images]
```
The minimum required python version is 3.8

## Getting started
- To get started have a look in the [examples folder](https://github.com/tillsteinbach/WeConnect-python/tree/main/examples)

## Login & Consent
WeConnect-python is based on the new WeConnect API that was introduced with the new series of ID cars. If you use another car or hybrid you probably need to agree to the terms and conditions of the new WeConnect interface. Easiest to do so is by installing the Volkswagen app on your smartphone and login there. If necessary you will be asked to agree to the terms and conditions.

## Reporting Issues

## Credits
Inspired by [TA2k/ioBroker.vw-connect](https://github.com/TA2k/ioBroker.vw-connect/) that gave me a point to start working with the API

## Seat, Cupra, Skoda IV, ...
Now owning a Skoda vehicle I'm about to make a rewrite of this library called [CarConnectivity](https://github.com/tillsteinbach/CarConnectivity), I hope this will be ready for a first release in early 2025
