BMW CarData Streaming API

The BMW CarData Streaming API delivers near-real-time vehicle telematics over MQTT 3.1.1 with TLS. Clients connect to `customer.streaming-cardata.bmwgroup.com` on port 9000, authenticate with their GCID as the MQTT username and a GCDM access token (scope `cardata:streaming:read`) as the password, and subscribe to the per-vehicle topic `{gcid}/{vin}`. The set of descriptors streamed is controlled by the container(s) the client has registered via the CarData REST API, allowing a customer to scope exactly which signals (e.g. state of charge, mileage, doors, location) flow to each third-party integration. The streaming surface is the recommended path for charging optimizers, home-automation hubs, and fleet telematics back-ends that need event-driven updates instead of polled reads.

BMW CarData Streaming API is one of 3 APIs that BMW ConnectedDrive publishes on the APIs.io network.

Tagged areas include CarData, Streaming, MQTT, Telematics, and Real-Time. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation.
