Ponika

Ponika is a Python library for interacting with the Teltonika devices.

Installation

You can install Ponika using pip:

pip install ponika

Usage

To use Ponika, you need to create an instance of PonikaClient with the appropriate parameters. Here's a basic example:

from ponika import PonikaClient

client = PonikaClient(
    host="192.168.1.1",
    username="your_username",
    password="your_password",
    # port=80,       # Optional, default is 443 if tls=True else 80
    # tls=False,     # Optional, default is True
    # verify_tls=False,  # Optional, default is True
)

The library follows the structure of the Teltonika API endpoints. For example, to get the internet status from the endpoint /api/v1/internet_connection/status, you can do the following:

response = client.internet_connection.get_status()

if response.success and response.data:
    print("Internet Status:")
    print("IPv4:", response.data.ipv4_status)
    print("IPv6:", response.data.ipv6_status)
    print("DNS: ", response.data.dns_status)
else:
    print("Error:", response.errors)

[!NOTE] Not all endpoints are implemented. If you need a specific endpoint that's missing, the existing endpoints should be a good reference for how to implement new ones.

Examples

Get Internet Status

response = client.internet_connection.get_status()

if response.success and response.data:
    print("Internet Status:")
    print("IPv4:", response.data.ipv4_status)
    print("IPv6:", response.data.ipv6_status)
    print("DNS: ", response.data.dns_status)
else:
    print("Error:", response.errors)

Get GPS Position

response = client.gps.position.get_status()

if response.success and response.data:
    print("GPS Position:")
    print("Latitude:", response.data.latitude)
    print("Longitude:", response.data.longitude)
    print("Altitude:", response.data.altitude)
else:
    print("Error:", response.errors)
