These tokens enable direct local-network communication with Google Home devices via their undocumented local API, bypassing the cloud.\n\nThe package handles the OAuth-like flow to obtain master tokens (valid for extended periods) and access tokens (valid 1 hour), then uses those to fetch device-specific local tokens (valid about 1 day). It includes device discovery via zeroconf and supports filtering by device model. The documentation emphasizes storing master tokens rather than credentials, and warns against frequent re-authentication to avoid account lockouts.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need local control of Google Home devices and are comfortable with the token refresh lifecycle. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, and uses a permissive MIT license. Install friction is low. Main gotchas: tokens expire daily, re-authentication is rate-limited by Google, and the local API is undocumented. Suitable for home automation and local-network integrations."},"id":"glocaltokens","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/glocaltokens","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/glocaltokens.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/glocaltokens/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-07-04","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"glocaltokens","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Tool to extract Google device local authentication tokens in Python"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":173852,"position":10297,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.7.6"}
