Mercedes-Benz Mercedes me

Mercedes-Benz operates one of the few genuinely public OEM API platforms. Its /developers portal at developer.mercedes-benz.com sells connected-vehicle data as individually-subscribable products — Vehicle Status, Vehicle Lock Status, Fuel Status, Electric Vehicle Status and Pay As You Drive — each gated by its own OAuth 2.0 scope and each requiring the vehicle owner's explicit per-signal consent, granted through the Mercedes-Benz identity provider at id.mercedes-benz.com. Alongside them sit four content and service APIs with published Swagger 2.0 contracts: the Car Configurator, the Dealer API, the Vehicle Images API and Remote Diagnostic Support. Mercedes-Benz Connectivity Services GmbH sells the Fleet API separately, pairing a REST management surface with a managed Apache Kafka push channel that streams nineteen activatable telemetry packages plus five remote-command packages, including remote door lock and unlock. Every API is versioned by URI path and shipped with a *_tryout sandbox base path on the same host.

Mercedes-Benz Mercedes me publishes 11 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Components API, Configurations API, Dealer search API, and 8 more. Tagged areas include Automotive, Connected Car, Connected Vehicle, Daimler, and Fleet Management.

The Mercedes-Benz Mercedes me catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification, 1 JSON-LD context, and 2 Spectral governance rulesets.

Mercedes-Benz Mercedes me’s developer surface includes developer portal, documentation, GitHub presence, authentication, sandbox, and 37 more developer resources.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/mercedes-me: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.

description: 'Mercedes-Benz operates one of the few genuinely public OEM API platforms. Its /developers portal at developer.mercedes-benz.com
  sells connected-vehicle data as individually-subscribable products — Vehicle Status, Vehicle Lock Status, Fuel Status, Electric
  Vehicle Status and Pay As You Drive — each gated by its own OAuth 2.0 scope and each requiring the vehicle owner''s explicit
  per-signal consent, granted through the Mercedes-Benz identity provider at id.mercedes-benz.com. Alongside them sit four
  content and service APIs with published Swagger 2.0 contracts: the Car Configurator, the Dealer API, the Vehicle Images
  API and Remote Diagnostic Support. Mercedes-Benz Connectivity Services GmbH sells the Fleet API separately, pairing a REST
  management surface with a managed Apache Kafka push channel that streams nineteen activatable telemetry packages plus five
  remote-command packages, including remote door lock and unlock. Every API is versioned by URI path and shipped with a *_tryout
  sandbox base path on the same host.'

features:
- type: APIPlatform
  name: Self-Service Developer Portal
  description: A public, self-service developer portal at developer.mercedes-benz.com lets any developer register an application,
    manage API keys/OAuth client credentials, subscribe to API products, and try requests via the integrated console.
- type: Authentication
  name: OAuth 2.0 Customer Consent
  description: Connected-vehicle APIs (Vehicle Status, Fuel Status, EV Status, Vehicle Lock Status, PAYD) use a Mercedes-Benz-hosted
    OAuth 2.0 authorization-code flow where the vehicle owner explicitly grants per-resource consent (e.g. lock state, fuel
    level) to a third-party app.
- type: PerResourceConsent
  name: Granular Per-Resource Scopes
  description: Connected-vehicle APIs split consent into fine-grained scopes — odometer, geo position, lock state, fuel, charge,
    tire pressure — so apps only request the minimum data required.
- type: ProductBased
  name: Product-Style API Subscriptions
  description: Each API is exposed as a "product" with a dedicated docs/specs/details/console tab, allowing independent subscription,
    pricing, and lifecycle management.
- type: Streaming
  name: Kafka Push API
  description: The Fleet API includes a managed Kafka Push API that streams vehicle telemetry events (location, fuel/charge,
    health, tires, doors, anti-theft) directly into fleet management systems with OAuth 2.0-authenticated Kafka clients.
- type: SDKs
  name: Mobile SDK (MBSDK)
  description: Native iOS (Swift) and Android (Kotlin) modules encapsulate customer/car data, authentication, vehicle assignment,
    and service activation so partner apps can ship Mercedes me integrations quickly.
- type: VINKeyed
  name: VIN/FIN-Indexed Operations
  description: All connected-vehicle operations are keyed by VIN/FIN, matching Mercedes-Benz's vehicle-identity model and
    enabling consistent telemetry, diagnostics, and command routing across products.
- type: AsyncPolling
  name: Async Polling for Diagnostics
  description: The Remote Diagnostic Support API uses an asynchronous create-then-poll pattern (readouts) so long-running
    ECU/DTC reads don't block client connections.
- type: Sandbox
  name: Tryout / Sandbox Environments
  description: All public APIs ship with a *_tryout basePath (e.g. /configurator_tryout/v1) for sandbox-only development against
    synthetic data before production credentials are issued.
