Python API for Synology DSM

https://travis-ci.org/ProtoThis/python-synology.svg?branch=master Library version Supported versions Downloads Formated with Black

Installation

[sudo] pip install python-synology

Usage

You can import the module as synology_dsm.

Constructor

SynologyDSM(
    dsm_ip,
    dsm_port,
    username,
    password,
    use_https=False,
    verify_ssl=False,
    timeout=None,
    device_token=None,
    debugmode=False,
)

device_token should be added when using a two-step authentication account, otherwise DSM will ask to login with a One Time Password (OTP) and requests will fail (see the login section for more details).

Default timeout is 10 seconds.

Login

The library automatically login at first request, but you better use the login() function separately to authenticate.

It will return a boolean if it successed or faild to authenticate to DSM.

If your account need a two-step authentication (2SA), login() will raise SynologyDSMLogin2SARequiredException. Call the function again with a One Time Password (OTP) as parameter, like login("123456") (better to be a string to handle first zero). Store the device_token property so that you do not need to reconnect with password the next time you open a new SynologyDSM session.

Code exemple

Every API has an update() function that is needed to get the first data, then the data is cached and updated at the next update() call.

The SynologyDSM class can also update() all APIs at once.

from synology_dsm import SynologyDSM

print("Creating Valid API")
api = SynologyDSM("<IP/DNS>", "<port>", "<username>", "<password>")

print("=== Information ===")
api.information.update()
print("Model:           " + str(api.information.model))
print("RAM:             " + str(api.information.ram) + " MB")
print("Serial number:   " + str(api.information.serial))
print("Temperature:     " + str(api.information.temperature) + " °C")
print("Temp. warning:   " + str(api.information.temperature_warn))
print("Uptime:          " + str(api.information.uptime))
print("Full DSM version:" + str(api.information.version_string))
print("--")

print("=== Utilisation ===")
api.utilisation.update()
print("CPU Load:        " + str(api.utilisation.cpu_total_load) + " %")
print("Memory Use:      " + str(api.utilisation.memory_real_usage) + " %")
print("Net Up:          " + str(api.utilisation.network_up()))
print("Net Down:        " + str(api.utilisation.network_down()))
print("--")

print("=== Storage ===")
api.storage.update()
for volume_id in api.storage.volumes_ids:
    print("ID:          " + str(volume_id))
    print("Status:      " + str(api.storage.volume_status(volume_id)))
    print("% Used:      " + str(api.storage.volume_percentage_used(volume_id)) + " %")
    print("--")

for disk_id in api.storage.disks_ids:
    print("ID:          " + str(disk_id))
    print("Name:        " + str(api.storage.disk_name(disk_id)))
    print("S-Status:    " + str(api.storage.disk_smart_status(disk_id)))
    print("Status:      " + str(api.storage.disk_status(disk_id)))
    print("Temp:        " + str(api.storage.disk_temp(disk_id)))
    print("--")

print("=== Shared Folders ===")
api.share.update()
for share_uuid in api.share.shares_uuids:
    print("Share name:        " + str(api.share.share_name(share_uuid)))
    print("Share path:        " + str(api.share.share_path(share_uuid)))
    print("Space used:        " + str(api.share.share_size(share_uuid, human_readable=True)))
    print("Recycle Bin Enabled: " + str(api.share.share_recycle_bin(share_uuid)))
    print("--")

Download Station usage

from synology_dsm import SynologyDSM

api = SynologyDSM("<IP/DNS>", "<port>", "<username>", "<password>")

if "SYNO.DownloadStation.Info" in api.apis:

    api.download_station.get_info()
    api.download_station.get_config()

    # The download list will be updated after each of the following functions:
    # You should have the right on the (default) directory that the download will be saved, or you will get a 403 or 406 error
    api.download_station.create("http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/gtv-videos-bucket/sample/BigBuckBunny.mp4")
    api.download_station.pause("dbid_1")
    # Like the other function, you can eather pass a str or a list
    api.download_station.resume(["dbid_1", "dbid_2"])
    api.download_station.delete("dbid_3")

    # Manual update
    api.download_station.update()

Surveillance Station usage

from synology_dsm import SynologyDSM

api = SynologyDSM("<IP/DNS>", "<port>", "<username>", "<password>")
surveillance = api.surveillance_station
surveillance.update() # First update is required

# Returns a list of cached cameras available
cameras = surveillance.get_all_cameras()

# Assuming there's at least one camera, get the first camera_id
camera_id = cameras[0].camera_id

# Returns cached camera object by camera_id
camera = surveillance.get_camera(camera_id)

# Returns cached motion detection enabled
motion_setting = camera.is_motion_detection_enabled

# Return bytes of camera image
surveillance.get_camera_image(camera_id)

# Updates all cameras/motion settings and cahce them
surveillance.update()

# Gets Home Mode status
home_mode_status =  surveillance.get_home_mode_status()

# Sets home mode - true is on, false is off
surveillance.set_home_mode(True)

System usage

from synology_dsm import SynologyDSM

api = SynologyDSM("<IP/DNS>", "<port>", "<username>", "<password>")
system = api.system

# Reboot NAS
system.reboot()

# Shutdown NAS
system.shutdown()

# Manual update system information
system.update()

# Get CPU information
system.cpu_clock_speed
system.cpu_cores
system.cpu_family
system.cpu_series

# Get NTP settings
system.enabled_ntp
system.ntp_server

# Get system information
system.firmware_ver
system.model
system.ram_size
system.serial
system.sys_temp
system.time
system.time_zone
system.time_zone_desc
system.up_time

# Get list of all connected USB devices
system.usb_dev

Upgrade usage

from synology_dsm import SynologyDSM

api = SynologyDSM("<IP/DNS>", "<port>", "<username>", "<password>")
upgrade = api.upgrade

# Manual update upgrade information
upgrade.update()

# check if DSM update is available
if upgrade.update_available:
    do something ...
