API Integration for EVC & Tuning Services

API Integration for ECU File Management & Tuning Services

The ECU File Management API allows seamless communication between the tuning file management platform and external systems to process tuning requests, retrieve vehicle data, and manage file modifications. Proper API configuration ensures that the system can securely connect to EVC services and execute tuning operations efficiently.

1. Setting Up API Credentials

To enable API integration, the system needs to authenticate with the EVC (Electronic Vehicle Calibration) system. This requires setting up API credentials in the project configuration.

Steps to Configure API Credentials:

Navigate to the API Configuration File
Open the project directory and go to:
app -> EVC -> ConnectionToSystem
Update API Credentials
Open the file and locate the API credentials section.
Add the necessary credentials provided by the EVC system provider.
Modify the Configuration with Your API Details
Update the credentials in the .ini file (or .env depending on the system).
Add the following details:
```
API_ID="your_client_api_id"
API_PASSWORD="your_client_password"
API_USERNAME="your_client_username"
```
Replace "your_client_api_id", "your_client_password", and "your_client_username" with the actual values assigned by the EVC service provider.
Save the Changes
After updating the credentials, save the configuration file.

2. How the Tuning File API Works

Once the credentials are set, the platform will use the API connection to perform the following functions:

Vehicle & ECU Identification

Retrieve vehicle details based on VIN, Model, or ECU information for your automotive tuning file platform.

Tuning File Upload & Processing

Allow users to submit ECU tuning files for modification through your tuning file sharing platform.
Process the files based on the requested tuning type using our professional tuning tools platform.

Tuning File Download & Delivery

After processing, the system will retrieve the modified file from the EVC service and make it available for download through your secure tuning file storage system.

Transaction Management

Ensure that the correct number of EVC Credits or Tuning Credits are deducted when a service is used.

3. Ensuring Secure API Connection

To maintain security and efficiency, follow these best practices:

Never share API credentials publicly – Keep them in a secure environment.
Use encrypted connections (TLS/SSL) – Ensure all API communications are encrypted.
Enable logging for API transactions – This helps track issues and debug errors.

4. Verifying API Integration

After setting up the API credentials, test the connection:

Run a Test Connection Request
Send a sample API request to check if the connection is successful.
Verify the Response
- If the credentials are correct, the system should return a success message.
- If incorrect, the system will show an authentication error.
Check API Logs
If the API is not working, review the error logs in the system.
