TP-Link M7000/M7200 API client and CLI

TP-Link M7000/M7200 Python API

Small Python client for TP-Link M7000/M7200 MiFi devices. It fetches an auth challenge, encrypts login and follow-up calls with AES/RSA, and exposes handy commands (status, SMS, network mode, mobile data, reboot, arbitrary invokes).

Install

pip install tplink-m7200

Development setup

python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install -e .

Optional config file m7200.ini:

[modem]
host=192.168.0.1
username=admin
password=your_password
session_file=m7200.session.json

CLI usage

All commands log in first, then call the modem API. Add -v for debug logs.

# Login and show result/token
m7200 --password YOUR_PASS login

# Status (module=status, action=0)
m7200 --password YOUR_PASS status

# Toggle mobile data (module=wan, action=1)
m7200 --password YOUR_PASS mobile-data on   # or off

# Set preferred network mode (module=wan, action=1) | 1=3G only, 2=4G only, 3=4G preferred
m7200 --password YOUR_PASS network-mode 3

# Send SMS (module=message, action=3)
m7200 --password YOUR_PASS send-sms 5555 "INTERNET"

# Read SMS inbox (module=message, action=2)
m7200 --password YOUR_PASS read-sms --page 1 --page-size 8 --box 0

# Current IP (module=status, action=0)
m7200 --password YOUR_PASS ip
m7200 --password YOUR_PASS ip --ipv6

# Data quota/usage (module=status, action=0)
m7200 --password YOUR_PASS quota
m7200 --password YOUR_PASS quota --human

# Reboot (module=reboot, action=0)
m7200 --password YOUR_PASS reboot

# Arbitrary invoke
m7200 --password YOUR_PASS invoke status 0
m7200 --password YOUR_PASS invoke wan 1 --data '{"networkPreferredMode":3}'

Flags --host and --username override config/defaults. Use --session-file (or session_file in m7200.ini) to cache the session bundle and reuse it on later runs (default: m7200.session.json). When working from the repo without installing, python m7200.py works directly; use PYTHONPATH=src python -m tplink_m7200 if you prefer module execution.

Timeout: default 10s; override with --timeout or timeout_seconds in m7200.ini.

Notes

• AES-CBC key/IV are generated per login (numeric strings, 16 chars). RSA is chunked to support the 512-bit modulus the modem returns.
• All requests are plain HTTP to the modem LAN IP (no TLS on the device).
• This client only implements a subset of modules/actions. See the docstring in m7200.py for the full list of known module/action codes.
