tapoapi 0.1.0

Unofficial TP-Link Tapo local API client

tapoapi

Unofficial Python client for controlling TP-Link Tapo cameras over the local network, without the official Tapo app.

This project is not affiliated with TP-Link.

This started as a small personal reverse‑engineering project. I’m publishing it in case others find it useful. It’s provided as‑is and may not be actively maintained.
