VERBS #

As seen before you can interact with the webportal by sending and receiving messages throught postMessage & onmessage.

They are 3 different ways to interract with webportal! We call them verbs.

Here is a description of theses 3 verbs:

GET #

GET type allow to request single time data from the webportal.

Example:

// RESPONSE
{
    "id": "7372c16f-5f2f-42c9-84a7-5490e35f1be0",
    "type": "REPLY",
    "api": "engine.totalMileage",
    "status": 200,
    "statusText": "OK",
    "data": 14285
}

This is the response when requesting the total mileage of a vehicle.

SET #

SET type allow to change a value or to setup an action depending on the API.

Example:

// REQUEST
{
    "id": "7372c16f-5f2f-42c9-84a7-5490e35f1be0",
    "type": "SET",
    "api": "configuration.consumptionUnit",
    "params": 1
}

Sending this request will modify the consumption unit in the vehicle HMI.

SUBSCRIBE #

SUBSCRIBE type allow to receive a notification when the data is modified.

Example:

// NOTIFICATION
{
    "id": "7372c16f-5f2f-42c9-84a7-5490e35f1be0",
    "type": "NOTIFY",
    "api": "app.visibilityState",
    "status": 200,
    "statusText": "OK",
    "data": {
        "appId": "com.example.app",
