New BMW api - did anyone try this yet?

[curious2improve]

I discovered it seems there is a new API on the BMW portal?
https://ocapi.aws.bmw.cloud/
It's shown as "charging per remote access" and related to BMW CarData

However the FAQs sound like there is no access for private end users (only for commercial partners I assume).
https://www.bmw.de/de-de/mybmw/public/car-data-faq

Has anyone ever enabled this ? Is there any list of partners that have access?

It looks like this new API will be the only way to go from September 2025. And I fear it will kill this integration at the same time 🙁

Got message about that. This is crazy

I also got a message in the BMW app that the service will be discontinued, which is very frustrating. Only specified partners will have access. For Germany that is at the moment only Octopus energy. That would make it impossible to create an automation that that takes solar production and energy prices into account.

HA discussion here: home-assistant/core#149750

If the app still works, isn't is possible to reverse that?

@gerard33 / @rikroe Can you integrate the new API? The integration is broken till then.

Also for me it needs to reauhtenticate immediately after providing the captcha information.

Have not tried the API - as it is limited to 50 requests per day, which IMHO is completely useless :)
..However, I'm getting streaming data via MQTT right now, still working on some POC code. :)
Authentication works, token renewal is working, data is received and parsed.

Is this the API part you're talking about? (This is the Mini page for my Mini Cooper).

[tb205gti]

So the API - which you have to poll to get data is limited to 50 requests per day. The streaming data (Cardata stream) is MQTT where BMW push updates to the queue - and it not limited to the amount of data

There is a poc and once I'm back from vacation I'll have a look how to integrate it best.
