Python Ring Door Bell is a library written for Python 3.8+ that exposes the Ring.com devices as Python objects.
There is also a command line interface that is work in progress. Contributors welcome <https://python-ring-doorbell.readthedocs.io/contributing.html>
_.
Currently Ring.com does not provide an official API. The results of this project are merely from reverse engineering.

# Installing from PyPi
$ pip install ring_doorbell
# Installing latest development
$ pip install \
git+https://github.com/tchellomello/python-ring-doorbell@master
Event Listener ++++++++++++++
If you want the ring api to listen for push events from ring.com for dings and motion you
will need to install with the listen
extra::
$ pip install ring_doorbell[listen]
The api will then start listening for push events after you have first called update_dings()
or update_data()
but only if there is a running asyncio <https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio.html>
_ event loop (which there will be if using the CLI)
The CLI is work in progress and currently has the following commands:
Show your devices::
$ ring-doorbell
Or::
$ ring-doorbell show
#. List your device names (with device kind)::
$ ring-doorbell list
#. Either count or download your vidoes or both::
$ ring-doorbell videos --count --download-all
#. Enable disable motion detection::
$ ring-doorbell motion-detection --device-name "DEVICENAME" --on
$ ring-doorbell motion-detection --device-name "DEVICENAME" --off
#. Listen for push notifications like the ones sent to your phone::
$ ring-doorbell listen
#. List your ring groups::
$ ring-doorbell groups
#. Show your ding history::
$ ring-doorbell history --device-name "Front Door"
#. Show your currently active dings::
$ ring-doorbell dings
#. Query a ring api url directly::
$ ring-doorbell raw-query --url /clients_api/dings/active
#. Run ring-doorbell --help
or ring-doorbell videos --help
