Access Netgear routers using their SOAP API
Project description
pyNetgear
pyNetgear provides an easy to use Python API to control your Netgear router. It uses the SOAP-api on modern Netgear routers to communicate. It is built by reverse engineering the requests made by the NETGEAR Genie app.
pyNetgear works with Python 2 and 3.
If you are connected to the network of the Netgear router, a host is optional.
If you are connected via a wired connection to the Netgear router, a password is optional.
The username defaults to admin.
The port defaults to 5000.
The ssl defaults to false.
You can specify url and it will take precedence on host/port/ssl parameters.
This allows the use of HTTPS, https://orbilogin.com for example.
It currently supports the following operations:
login
Logs in to the router. Will return True or False to indicate success.
get_attached_devices
Returns a list of named tuples describing the device signal, ip, name, mac, type, link_rate and allow_or_block.
get_attached_devices_2
Returns a list of named tuples describing the device signal, ip, name, mac, type, link_rate, allow_or_block, device_type, device_model, ssid and conn_ap_mac.
This call is slower and probably heavier on the router load.
get_traffic_meter
Return a dict containing the traffic meter information from the router (if enabled in the webinterface).
allow_block_device
Allows user to block/unblock devices from accessing router by specifying mac_addr and new device_status (Block/Allow)
Note: In order to use this function, Remote Management must be enabled in the router's admin settings.
Installation
You can install PyNetgear from PyPi using pip3 install pynetgear (use pip if you're still using Python 2).
Usage
To test run from the console:
$ python -m pynetgear [<pass>] [<host>] [<user>] [<port>] [<ssl>]
To use within your Python scripts:
from pynetgear import Netgear
netgear = Netgear(password=mypassword)
for i in netgear.get_attached_devices():
print i
