hyundai-kia-connect-api
Python API for Hyundai, Kia, and Genesis car infotainment systems
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes. The package is actively maintained, has low install friction, carries no known vulnerabilities, and uses a permissive MIT license. It is well-suited for Home Assistant users and developers building custom integrations with Hyundai, Kia, or Genesis vehicles. The main caveat is that it wraps third-party APIs that may change without notice, and the maintainer has explicitly noted they no longer own a vehicle—so community contributions are essential for long-term stability.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python 3.12 or newer.
- Valid Hyundai/Kia/Genesis account credentials and region/brand codes from const.py are required to instantiate VehicleManager.
- Low install friction with a pure-Python wheel and five common dependencies.

What it is and what it does
This is a Python wrapper around the Hyundai Bluelink, Kia UVO, and Genesis Connect APIs, designed to standardize access across multiple regions (Europe, Canada, USA, China, Australia, India, New Zealand, Brazil) and brands. It handles the complexity of regional authentication differences—including RSA password encryption for EU logins via pycryptodome—and provides a unified VehicleManager class to log in, refresh tokens, retrieve vehicle state, and fetch trip history. The package is primarily consumed by Home Assistant integrations but can be used standalone via Python or a CLI tool.
Key operations include login with OTP support, token validation and refresh, cached and forced vehicle state updates, and retrieval of monthly and daily trip data where available. The API abstracts away regional differences so that the same code can work across brands and regions by passing region and brand constants. It requires Python 3.10 or newer and depends on beautifulsoup4, requests, certifi, tzdata, and pycryptodome for HTTP, HTML parsing, SSL verification, timezone handling, and cryptographic operations.
Use it for
- Integrate Hyundai or Kia vehicle status (location, fuel, battery, climate) into Home Assistant or other home automation systems.
- Build a personal dashboard or mobile app that displays real-time vehicle telemetry and trip history across multiple cars.
- Automate vehicle commands (lock, unlock, climate control) triggered by external events or schedules in a custom application.
- Export vehicle trip data (distance, speed, fuel consumption) for personal analytics or fleet management.
- Monitor vehicle health and maintenance intervals by polling state periodically and alerting on anomalies.
