It abstracts authentication, token lifecycle, and HTTP signing so you can focus on device operations. The package exposes a device manager for listing and controlling Imou devices and channels, plus higher-level helpers (ImouHaDeviceManager) designed for home automation integrations like Home Assistant. It handles PTZ control, alarms, storage queries, and collection point (preset) management through typed exceptions and device abstractions.\n\nThe package is structured into focused modules: the core client handles auth and requests, the device module provides device and channel abstractions, and the ha_device module offers aggregated device models for automation stacks. It requires Python >= 3.11 and depends only on aiohttp and simpleeval, keeping the install footprint small. Intended for integrations that need programmatic control over Imou devices via the cloud platform.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need to integrate Imou devices into a Python application. Low install friction, active maintenance (released within 1 day), permissive MIT license, and no known vulnerabilities make it a safe choice. Verify that the package covers the specific Imou endpoints and device types you need before committing to a production integration."},"id":"pyimouapi","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pyimouapi","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pyimouapi.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/pyimouapi/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-08-13","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"pyimouapi","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"A package for imou open api"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":74903,"position":14771,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.3.5"}
