Synology Python API

Synology is a Python library aimed to help using Synology device’s APIs.

Common Gateway Interface builder

Since Synology APIs are build using the same pattern, this library also uses and provides tools to instanciate a pythonic consumer for any CGI-based API.

Installation

Easy way

pip install synolopy

“Hard” way

git clone [e-mail]:thavel/synolopy.git synolopy
cd ./synolopy
pip install .

Disk Station Manager API

Disk Station Manager is the name of the system on any Synology NAS devices.

Quick start

To start using the NAS API, you need to import the library:

from synolopy import NasApi

nas = NasApi('http://192.168.0.99:5000', 'admin', 'my_super_strong_password')

Basically, any API request follows this pattern: > nas.application.service.request(method, [params])

For further information about methods and parameters, you need to read the official documentation of the related application (cf. docs linked above).
