Overview
Hello, innovators, creators, and thinkers! Today marks a significant milestone for all of us in the DIMO community as we unveil something special designed with developers in mind. Whether you're a seasoned developer, a hardware enthusiast, or someone just starting your journey in the digital world, we're excited to introduce our new developer newsletter: Build on DIMO.
Our mission is to empower developers of all backgrounds and expertise levels to innovate, create, and transform the digital mobility space. With that in mind, we're thrilled to showcase our redesigned landing page and developer documentation, crafted to provide you with an intuitive experience as you build on DIMO.
Our developer documentation has undergone a transformation and is now more accessible than ever. Read on to explore the wealth of resources available to you.
Authentication Walkthrough
Security is paramount, and gaining access should be straightforward. The new authentication guide simplifies the process, ensuring you can securely access the resources you need without a hitch.
Hello World Example Codes
Nothing beats the excitement of building something new. The Hello World examples are your first step into the world of DIMO development, offering clear, concise code examples that pave the way for your projects. We welcome contributions from the open-source community to showcase your favorite framework or library with DIMO components.
Data Availability Widget
This simple widget showcases the data availability coverage for each connection type. Whether you are developing for Teslas, trucks connected using the DIMO AutoPi, or fleets connected using the DIMO Macaron, we got you covered. Validate the data availability to facilitate making informed decisions on your development strategy.
Identity API (GraphQL) References
Dive deep into the GraphQL-based Identity API, designed for seamless integration and access to blockchain data. Our comprehensive references guide you through every step, making access to public data a breeze. With the Identity API, a developer can easily see what the DIMO Network is all about and generate meaningful insights from the overall analytics of the network.
Rest API References
With the future API state in mind, we have designed an easy-to-follow REST API reference, taking you down the route of creating and minting vehicles all the way to trips and valuations. Use your wildest imagination to build delightful applications for your targeted audiences, and be on the roadmap of a decentralized mobility world with DIMO.
Coverage for Hardware Developers
We haven't forgotten about the hardware wizards among us. Our documentation now includes dedicated resources for our open hardware infrastructure, providing the insights and guidance needed to create & launch cutting-edge devices and integrations.
