Reolink Camera API client written in Python 3
Project description
Reolink Python Api Client
A Reolink Camera client written in Python. This repository's purpose (with Reolink's full support) is to deliver a complete API for the Reolink Cameras, although they have a basic API document - it does not satisfy the need for extensive camera communication.
Check out our documentation for more information on how to use the software at https://reolink.oleaintueri.com
Other Supported Languages:
- Go: reolinkapigo

Get started
Implement a "Camera" object by passing it an IP address, Username and Password. By instantiating the object, it will try retrieve a login token from the Reolink Camera. This token is necessary to interact with the Camera using other commands.
See the examples
directory.
Using the library as a Python Module
Install the package via PyPi
pip install reolinkapi
Install from GitHub
pip install git+https://github.com/ReolinkCameraAPI/reolinkapipy.git
If you want to include the video streaming functionality you need to include the streaming "extra" dependencies
pip install 'reolinkapi[streaming]'

How can I become a contributor?
Step 1
Get the Restful API calls by looking through the HTTP Requests made in the camera's web UI. I use Google Chrome developer mode (ctr + shift + i) -> Network.
Step 2
- Fork the repository
- pip install -r requirements.txt
- Make your changes
Step 3
Make a pull request.
