OVMS HTTP API is one of 2 APIs that [Open Vehicle Monitoring System (self-hosted)](https://apis.io/providers/ovms/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network.

For some time now I’ve wanted to offer an HTTP API for OVMS. The existing car↔server and server↔app protocol is cool, but requires going through some hoops (perl, whatever) to handle the encryption and protocol level stuff. An HTTP API would make this much easier to externally script.
