Status is returning forbidden

[ryancornia]

When calling status on a vehicle, a 403/forbidden response is being returned from Ford.

A simple example:

import connectedcar from 'connected-car';

const client = connectedcar.AuthClient('9fb503e0-715b-47e8-adfd-ad4b7770f73b'); 

const token = await client.getAccessTokenFromCredentials({
  username: '*****',
  password: '****',
});

const refreshToken = await client.getAccessTokenFromRefreshToken(token.getRefreshToken());
const user = connectedcar.User(token.getValue());
const vehicles = await user.vehicles();

const vehicleList = []; // Array of vehicles

for (let userVehicle of vehicles) // For each user vehicle
  vehicleList.push(userVehicle['VIN']);

let currentVehicle = connectedcar.Vehicle(vehicleList[0], token.getValue());

console.log(currentVehicle);
const status = await currentVehicle.status();
console.log(status);

Ford is using a new API and is blocking requests to the old API this project is using. Fortunately, it can be fixed.

how can it be fixed @brandon-grant

Hi all,

Working on getting this updated.

In looking around a bit, it appears that Ford is changing their FordPass application in favor of their new publicly facing api that will be released at some point in the future. I'll see what I can do to get this library patched up in the meantime.

I've attached a down and dirty solution I put together for myself. OAuth2Client.txt

Thanks Brandon. That should help speed things up a bit.

@brandon-grant thank you very much!! Can you share a piece of (sample) code on to start the car, for example, with your OauthClient code that you shared?
