By now we all know that Renault are slowly releasing a successor to the ZE Services app they crippled at the end of last year.
@yoh-there's post sounded like a challenge to me, so I spent a little while poking around to see what I could find, and I've written up the results here.
It gets technical very quickly, so is probably not a mass-audience post!
tl;dr: it's a lot harder to authenticate to the point of getting data out; the information available is mostly the same, at least with respect to ZE-specific stuff, with a couple of so-so additions; for app developers, there's not really a compelling reason to try switch to the new API, until they turn the old one off - if indeed they ever do so.
