Sends a location for the car to start navigation or play a video in theatre mode.
These docs take from the Android app, which sends the data in JSON form. However, a URL-encoded POST body will work as well. The basic format to a request looks like this:
{"type": "share_ext_content_raw","value": {"android.intent.extra.TEXT": "123 Main St, City, ST 12345\n\nhttps://goo.gl/maps/X"},"locale": "en-US","timestamp_ms": "1539465730"}
Note: This API was previously navigation_request
, but has been updated to support video links as well.
Parameter | Example | Description |
type | share_ext_content_raw | Must be |
locale | en-US | The locale for the navigation request. ISO 639-1 standard language codes |
timestamp_ms | 1539465730 | The current UNIX timestamp. |
value[android.intent.extra.TEXT] | 123 Main St, City, ST 12345 | The address or video URL to set as the navigation destination. |
