How can I equip my app to use Smartcar in my country?
If your user is located outside of the United States, your Smartcar Connect authorization URL needs to include a country-specific feature flag using the flags parameter. Your feature flag should contain the two-character ISO country code of the country that your user is located in.
Our SDKs provide ways for you to add this as part of the the various authUrlBuilder methods.
String authUrl = authClient.authUrlBuilder()
.setFlags(["country:GB"])
.build();
auth_url = client.get_auth_url(flags=["country:GB"])
let authUrl = smartcar.authUrlBuilder()
.setFlags(["country:GB"])
.build()
smartcar.getAuthUrl({forcePrompt: true,
state: '0facda3319',
flags: ['country:GB']});
The auth URL should look like the following:
https://connect.smartcar.com/oauth/authorize?response_type=code &client_id=8229df9f-91a0-4ff0-a1ae-a1f38ee24d07
&scope=read_odometer read_vehicle_info
&redirect_uri=https://example.com/home
&state=0facda3319
&flags=country:GB
Alternatively, your users can manually change their country and language during the Smartcar Connect Flow
