# Check Teslamate API
Query the Teslamate API to inspect JSON response format for endpoints.
## Configuration
The API URL should be set in a `.env` file at the project root (gitignored):
```
TESLAMATE_API_URL=https://your-teslamate-api.example.com
```
If no `.env` file exists, ask the user for their Teslamate API URL.
## Common Endpoints
- `/api/v1/cars` - List all cars
- `/api/v1/cars/{id}` - Car details with current state (battery, location, climate, etc.)
- `/api/v1/cars/{id}/drives` - Drive history (supports `?start_date=` and `?end_date=`)
- `/api/v1/cars/{id}/charges` - Charge history (supports `?start_date=` and `?end_date=`)
- `/api/v1/cars/{id}/drives/{drive_id}` - Single drive details with positions
- `/api/v1/cars/{id}/charges/{charge_id}` - Single charge details with charging curve
## Instructions
1. Read the `.env` file to get `TESLAMATE_API_URL`
2. If not found, ask the user for the URL
3. Use WebFetch to query the requested endpoint
4. Present the JSON structure clearly, highlighting relevant fields
## Date Format
The API's parseDateParam function only accepts:
- RFC3339 format: `2024-12-07T00:00:00Z`
- DateTime format: `2024-12-07 00:00:00`
