It handles authentication (including two-factor authentication), manages sync modules and individual cameras, and provides methods to retrieve live images and videos, trigger remote snapshots, and control arming/disarming of motion detection.\n\nThe library uses aiohttp for async HTTP communication and includes built-in request throttling to avoid overwhelming Blink's servers. It supports saving and loading credentials from files, interactive and non-interactive authentication flows, and exposes camera attributes and cached media as bytes objects. The package requires Python 3.10 or later and depends on aiohttp, requests, aiofiles, python-dateutil, python-slugify, and sortedcontainers.","worth_installing":"Yes. The library is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, uses permissive licensing, and provides a complete async interface to Blink cameras. Install it if you need programmatic control of Blink systems or are building a home automation integration. The low install friction and standard dependencies make it straightforward to add to existing projects."},"id":"blinkpy","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/blinkpy","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/blinkpy.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/blinkpy/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-07-21","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"blinkpy","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"A Blink camera Python Library."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":96141,"position":13227,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.25.9"}
