# libsonyapi

Python binding for the [Sony Camera API](https://developer.sony.com/develop/cameras/)

---

# REQUIREMENTS

- a compatible Sony camera (find your camera [here](https://developer.sony.com/develop/cameras/api-information/supported-devices))
- wifi connection

# INSTALLATION

## `pip install libsonyapi`

**OR FROM SOURCE:**

1. `git clone https://github.com/petabite/libsonyapi.git` or download the [latest release](https://github.com/petabite/libsonyapi/releases)
2. `cd libsonyapi`
3. `python setup.py install`

Required:

- [requests](https://requests.readthedocs.io/en/master/user/install/#install)

# QUICKSTART

```python
from libsonyapi.camera import Camera
from libsonyapi.actions import Actions

camera = Camera()  # create camera instance
camera_info = camera.info()  # get camera camera_info
print(camera_info)

print(camera.name)  # print name of camera
print(camera.api_version)  # print api version of camera

camera.do(Actions.actTakePicture)  # take a picture

fNumber = camera.do(Actions.getFNumber)
print(fNumber)  # prints fnumber

camera.do(Actions.setFNumber, "5")  # set aperture to 5
```

# HOW IT WORKS

1. establishes connection with camera thru upnp ssdp protocol
2. make calls to camera via http post and json body
3. camera responds with json w/ info such as status and info if required by http call

# DOCS

##### Objects

- libsonyapi.Camera()
  - init a Camera object
- libsonyapi.Actions()
  - do not need to create instance
  - contains string literals of sony camera api methods for convenience (auto-complete)

##### Parameters

- **Camera.name**
  - name of the camera
- **Camera.api_version**
  - api version of camera
- **Camera.services**
  - list of services available on camera
- **Camera.available_apis**
  - list of apis currently available on camera

##### Methods

- **Camera.info(self)**
  - returns camera info(name, api_version, supported services, available api) in dict
- **Camera.do(self, method, param=[]):**
  - **METHOD:** libsony.Actions.method, where method is one listed in the API LIST below
  - **PARAM(optional):** accepts string of param if METHOD is a method that sets a value on the camera
  - Returns the json response from the camera (for debugging)
  - NOTE: your camera may not support all methods. use `Camera.do("getAvailableApiList")['result']` to get currently available APIs.
  - Refer to [Sony Camera API](https://developer.sony.com/develop/cameras/) docs for function of method and supported params

# EXAMPLES

- [**pylapse**](https://github.com/petabite/pylapse) - uses libsonyapi to automatically capture pictures for a timelapse
