🎉 Smartcar API 2.0 widely available
We’re excited to announce that version 2.0 of our API is now widely available!
With version 2.0, Smartcar customers can benefit from improved error handling, better compatibility information, expanded webhook verification, and more. We encourage everyone to upgrade at their convenience and take advantage of all the new Smartcar API features.
What's new? For starters, we simplified the error codes and made error messages more descriptive so developers can debug even faster. We also enhanced our compatibility API to help you verify if Smartcar is compatible with a vehicle and determine which features are available.
Learn more about our API enhancements, and check out the v2.0 changelog for details on how to upgrade from v1.0 to v2.0.
