Mercedes-Benz /developers is the public developer platform of Mercedes-Benz. This provides detailed information on the product scope and the technical implementation of our data products.
We would be happy to present our product to you in detail in a personal consultation - and support you with the implementation. Does that sound exciting? Simply contact us using the contact button below.
1
To start activities we invite you to a personal exchange.
2
We provide you with a link to our API documentation and technical information.
3
You get an insight into how the API works by using Softcars or your own vehicles.

The contract is the basis for using the API.
The Spanish retailer group has streamlined their fleet management by integrating Mercedes-Benz vehicle data into its own systems, enhancing real-time vehicle monitoring for over 400 vehicles. This has improved operational efficiency and decision-making, with plans to expand into driver behavior analysis.
The adoption of connectivity and OEM data innovation has secured a strategic and technological edge to remain competitive and makes the retailer one of the pioneers of native connectivity in the Spanish automotive sector.
The prerequisite for access to the data is a signed framework agreement between you and us.
Yes, of course. Each data package can be activated individually on vehicle level. There is no minimum or maximum purchase per vehicle nor any combination barrier. This way, you can activate one single package for one vehicle and all of them for another one.
Our sales team will be happy to make you an individual offer for your fleet or business case and give you more detailed information on our products. Please use the contact options on our contact page.
The interface integration is billed once. For the data packages, which can be purchased individually at vehicle level, you will receive a monthly invoice.
Yes, there is. Today you can get an insight on how our API works and in two different ways: First, you can test our API with softcars. These are dummy vehicles that simulate the data transmission from real vehicles. Second, you can test our API with real vehicles from your own or for one of your specific fleets for a determined trial period.
The availability of the data depends on the compatibility of the vehicle and should be checked individually. For that we offer a ‘Compatibilities API’ which can be queried here with the vehicle identification number and provides all available services for the specific vehicle (credentials needed). You can find a general list of the various Mercedes-Benz Cars and Vans in the ‘Details’ section of Mercedes-Benz /developers.
Our API products actually consist of two APIs. For using the Management API, you need to implement a REST client, which is able to add vehicles to the platform, activate and deactivate services for the vehicles, querying the service activation states and deleting the vehicles from the platform.
For being able to consume vehicle data via the Push API, you need to implement a kafka client respectively a messaging consumer.
The complete documentation on the implementation of our data product can be found here: connect your fleet - Docs
After sending the activation request via the API, you need to wait for the next ignition state change. This means, once the vehicle is fully ‘online’, the services get activated.
connect your fleet can be used internationally in numerous countries. This data product is not available in markets where Mercedes-Benz vehicles do not have a communication module as standard. Please contact us to check the availability in your market individually.
