# Authenticate and get token
response = requests.post(api_endpoint + "/login", auth=(username, password))
token = json.loads(response.content)['token']
# Get vehicle status
headers = {"Authorization": "Bearer " + token}
response = requests.get(api_endpoint + "/vehicle/status", headers=headers)
vehicle_status = json.loads(response.content)
# Print vehicle status
print("Battery Level:", vehicle_status['battery_level'])

const App = () => {
  const [vehicleLocation, setVehicleLocation] = useState(null);
useEffect(() => {
    // Initialize API client
    const apiClient = new ApiClient('https://api.example.com');
// Get vehicle location
    apiClient.getVehicleLocation().then((location) => {
      setVehicleLocation(location);
    });
// Set up push notifications
    apiClient.subscribeToNotifications().then((subscription) => {
      console.log('Subscribed to notifications:', subscription);
    });
  }, []);
return (
    <View style={styles.container}>
      {vehicleLocation ? (
        <MapView
          style={styles.map}
          region={{
            latitude: vehicleLocation.latitude,
            longitude: vehicleLocation.longitude,
            latitudeDelta: 0.01,
            longitudeDelta: 0.01,
          }}
        >
          <MapView.Marker
            coordinate={vehicleLocation}
            title="Vehicle Location"
          />
        </MapView>
      ) : (
        <Text>Loading...</Text>
      )}
    </View>
