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 Camera's, although they have a basic API document - it does not satisfy the need for extensive camera communication.

Other Supported Languages:

• Go: reolink-go-api

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 Pip

pip install reolink-api==0.0.5

Styling and Standards

This project intends to stick with PEP8

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 and make your changes.

Step 3

Make a pull request.
