Weconnect app deactivated

[videopix]

Looks like VW finally replaced their Weconnect app with their new VW app which leads to the following errors:

[17/11/2023 18:09:55] [API::WARNING] Session file not found [17/11/2023 18:09:55] [API::WARNING] Access file not found [17/11/2023 18:09:55] [API::WARNING] Forcing login [17/11/2023 18:09:57] [API::CRITICAL] Raising error msg: Error 401 Traceback (most recent call last): File "./call_weconnect.py", line 21, in vwc.login() File "./NativeAPI.py", line 291, in login return self.force_login() File "./NativeAPI.py", line 424, in __force_login r = self.get_url('https://tokenrefreshservice.apps.emea.vwapps.io/exchangeAuthCode', post=data) File "./NativeAPI.py", line 131, in __get_url raise UrlError(r.status_code, msg, r) NativeAPI.UrlError: Error 401

Any idea already how to fix this? Best, Uwe

Yep, finally they shut down Weconnect. I'll try with the new app but it will require me some time. I do not know yet if it is a simple backend change or they modified the entire workflow.

@trocotronic I tried to check this a bit over the weekend but it doesn't seem so simple.

But this repo is still working, maybe it can help you. https://github.com/tillsteinbach/WeConnect-python

Seems a good repo. I did not review in detail but if you miss something drop an issue here and I'll take a look. Yesterday I logged all the workflow from the new app and I am deploying the new one.

Do you expect it to be as functional as it was before VW changed things?

[trocotronic]

I have to review what functionalities have been removed.

Did you try https://github.com/tillsteinbach/WeConnect-python ? It seems a good replacement btw.

I have now changed my application to use https://github.com/tillsteinbach/WeConnect-python which worked fine. The only feature, I was missing up to now, was to get all trips. WeConnect-python only retrieves the last trip. It was, however, straightforward to implement this feature based on the given code.

[trocotronic]

I updated the API with the newest backend.

get_trip_data(self, vin, type='shortterm', last=True) now accepts a parameter last=True, which returns the last trip or the full list if last=False.

Hi trocotronic, Thanks for updating - but I'm still getting

I am getting the same (on a completely blank/new setup).
