Hyundai Tucson vehicle data API: signals, model years and connection options

DIMO gives developers API access to Hyundai Tucson vehicle data. Model years 2013 and newer connect with a DIMO device (DIMO LTE R1 or AutoPi). Headline signals include odometer, fuel percentage and current charge level.

DIMO gives developers API access to vehicle-state data: diagnostics, fault codes, battery and fuel health, odometer, and maintenance signals. For the Hyundai Tucson, the connection type is a DIMO device, covering 2013 and newer model years. Coverage for this model is tested, not just expected. Once an owner shares a Tucson with your Developer License, you read its data through the Telemetry API, a GraphQL API, using a Vehicle JWT.

Signals by connection type

No factory connectivity?

Hyundai Tucson model years 2013 and newer have no OEM cloud connection listed. For these years, a DIMO device (DIMO LTE R1 or AutoPi) plugs into the OBD-II port and streams vehicle signals once the owner connects it and consents to sharing.

See the developer quickstart for how owners connect vehicles and grant access.

Events available

• Idling
• Refuel
• Recharge
• Harsh braking
• New diagnostic trouble code

Build it

Query the latest Hyundai Tucson signals with the DIMO TypeScript SDK. The vehicle owner must first share access with your app through DIMO Connect.

import { DIMO } from '@dimo-network/data-sdk';

const dimo = new DIMO('Production');
const tokenId = Number(process.env.DIMO_TOKEN_ID); // from DIMO Connect

const developerJwt = await dimo.auth.getDeveloperJwt({
  client_id: process.env.DIMO_CLIENT_ID,
  domain: process.env.DIMO_REDIRECT_URI,
  private_key: process.env.DIMO_API_KEY,
});
const vehicleJwt = await dimo.tokenexchange.getVehicleJwt({
  ...developerJwt,
  tokenId,
});

// Latest Hyundai Tucson signals
const data = await dimo.telemetry.query({
  ...vehicleJwt,
  query: `
    query {
      signalsLatest(tokenId: ${tokenId}) {
      powertrainTransmissionTravelledDistance {
        value
        timestamp
      }
      powertrainFuelSystemRelativeLevel {
        value
        timestamp
      }
      powertrainTractionBatteryStateOfChargeCurrent {
        value
        timestamp
      }
      }
    }`,
});
console.log(JSON.stringify(data, null, 2));
