When integrating with the Volteras platform, understanding the role of geographic regions in account connections may be required depending on the OEM.
The region property is an optional setting that you can use to specify the geographic region of the account when generating the account connection URL.
This specification is critical to be considered for OEMs that operate distinct APIs across different regions, as it ensures the connection is routed to the appropriate OEM-specific API endpoint.
For all OEMs, Europe is the preset default region, but this can be adjusted to meet specific regional requirements.
Regions Available
Our platform supports the following regions for API connections:
| Region |

OEM Specifics
The requirement to specify a region and the applicable regions vary by OEM.
Below is a table outlining the OEMs for which region settings are relevant, and the regions available for each:
| OEM | Regions Available |
|---|
| BMW | EUROPE, NORTH_AMERICA |
| MINI | EUROPE, NORTH_AMERICA |
| HYUNDAI | EUROPE |
| KIA | EUROPE |
region property is necessary to ensure the connection is made to the correct regional API endpoint.
The platform may add more OEMs to this list as it expands its integrations.
Remember to specify the region property when consuming the account connect URL generation endpoint, alongside any required scopes or other parameters for your integration.
