It abstracts the HTTP calls needed to authenticate, query camera configurations, retrieve recordings, and trigger actions on a motionEye instance. The library depends only on aiohttp and is designed to integrate into home automation or monitoring systems that need programmatic control over motionEye.\n\nThe client handles both admin and surveillance credentials separately, as motionEye's API requires different permissions for configuration changes versus data streaming. It provides both low-level async methods (prefixed with `async_`) that return raw JSON responses and convenience methods to extract URLs for video streams, snapshots, and recorded media. It can be used as a context manager to automatically manage the underlying aiohttp session.","worth_installing":"Yes. This is a straightforward, actively maintained async client for a specific surveillance platform. Low install friction, permissive license, no known vulnerabilities, and a clear use case for anyone running motionEye. Install if you need programmatic control over a motionEye server; skip if you don't use motionEye."},"id":"motioneye-client","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/motioneye-client","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/motioneye-client.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/motioneye-client/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2023-01-08","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"motioneye-client","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"motionEye client library Python Package"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":73686,"position":14949,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.3.14"}
