Desktop App Integration

This is a technical note describing how the Windows diagnostics app can open AutoSolve Hub pages with context.

Code Pages

The desktop app can open any code page with: 

https://autosolvehub.com/codes/<code>.html

Where <code> is the OBD2 code in lowercase, for example: 

https://autosolvehub.com/codes/p0299.html

Car Profiles

Car profiles follow the pattern: 

https://autosolvehub.com/cars/<make>/<slug>.html

For example: 

https://autosolvehub.com/cars/ford/fiesta-st180-2016.html

The desktop app just needs to build these URLs and open them in the default browser. The site handles the rest.
