aiounifiaccess 0.1.1

Async Python client for the UniFi Access API

aiounifiaccess

Async Python client for the UniFi Access API.

• Full REST API coverage — all endpoints from API v4.0.10
• Real-time events — WebSocket listener with auto-reconnect and typed event models
• Webhook support — HMAC-SHA256 signature verification utility
• Pydantic v2 models — fully typed request/response objects
• Async-native — built on aiohttp for composability with other async libraries

Installation

pip install aiounifiaccess

Quick Start

import asyncio
import os
from aiounifiaccess import UniFiAccessClient

async def main():
    async with UniFiAccessClient(
        host=os.environ["UNIFI_ACCESS_HOST"],
        api_token=os.environ["UNIFI_ACCESS_TOKEN"],
    ) as client:
        # List all users
        users, pagination = await client.users.list()
        for user in users:
            print(f"{user.first_name} {user.last_name} ({user.status})")

        # Get a specific door
        door = await client.doors.get("door-id-here")
        print(f"{door.name}: {door.door_lock_relay_status}")

        # Remote unlock
        await client.doors.unlock("door-id-here", actor_name="API Script")

asyncio.run(main())

Event Listener

import asyncio
import os
from aiounifiaccess import UniFiAccessClient, DoorPositionEvent, DoorUnlockEvent

async def main():
    async with UniFiAccessClient(
        host=os.environ["UNIFI_ACCESS_HOST"],
        api_token=os.environ["UNIFI_ACCESS_TOKEN"],
    ) as client:

        @client.on(DoorPositionEvent)
        async def handle_dps(event: DoorPositionEvent):
            status = event.data.object.status
            door = event.data.location.name
            print(f"{door} is now {status}")

        @client.on(DoorUnlockEvent)
        async def handle_unlock(event: DoorUnlockEvent):
            actor = event.data.actor.name
            door = event.data.location.name
            print(f"{actor} unlocked {door}")

        await client.listen()

asyncio.run(main())

Webhook Verification

from aiounifiaccess import verify_webhook_signature

is_valid = verify_webhook_signature(
    secret="your_webhook_secret",
    signature_header=request.headers["Signature"],
    body=await request.read(),
)
