BMW CarData Third-Party API is one of 4 APIs that [BMW ConnectedDrive](https://apis.io/providers/bmw-connecteddrive/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include CarData, Third-Party, Vehicles, Telematics, and Right To Repair. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation.

The third-party variant of BMW CarData targets independent service providers — repair shops, charging operators, fleet platforms, insurance, and aftermarket integrators — who consume vehicle data on behalf of customers who have explicitly consented through the BMW Open Data Platform. Third parties register a client, subscribe to one or more CarData services (which assigns the corresponding scope to the client ID), and then drive their users through the OAuth 2.0 Device Code Flow to obtain customer consent. The third-party surface reuses the same REST and MQTT endpoints as the Customer API but is bounded by the data-minimization rules of the BMW Open Data Platform and the EU Data Act / right-to-repair framework.
