BlueFire API

We support an Android open source API (Application Programming Interface) that can be downloaded from our FTP server. The API for Adapters with 2.1 and 3.1 hardware is at this link and the API for 4.1 hardware Adapters is at this link.

The API contains a fully functional Demo App and documentation.

If you have a custom application, the API allows you to connect directly to the BlueFire Data Adapter and retrieve vehicle ECM information in real time.

A sample of the information that you can retrieve from the Adapter is as follows:
