Hi!

So, I just found out that I can talk to the Renault API to get some interesting stuff about my car. Things like Mileage, autonomy, Fuel quantity, etc. I know for a fact that this is also possible on Skoda and probably other brands as well... What do you guys use to talk to these APIs and create some nice graphs from it?

Please let me know :)

munin is the veteran of monitoring. It offers an easy plugin API, graphs and alerts. I use it for everything (temperarure, stock prices, API of the local water park etc.) since with curl, jq + bash you can create a plugin in minutes (or any other language you like).

There are much more modern solutions, just putting it here in case you want some low maintenance, tried & proven, rock solid solution that "just works". It's written in perl and maintained by a nice community.
