I was able to see which function was called by F12-ing the mydlink.com website and playing a little with controls.\r\n\r\nFirst of all, I'm able to log in and get my camera standard info (device list and device info) with no problem thanks to the provided example. But when I call the control function I get a privilege error...\r\n\r\n    {'error': {'message': 'Client doesnt have privilege.', 'code': 31}}\r\n\r\nI've found that to control and get the privacy settings and even play with PTZ, the entry point is\r\n\r\n    POST /v2/device/control?acces_token=ACCESSTOKEN\r\n\r\n(note the `v2`, if I put `me` in place I get another same error `{'error': {'message': 'Client doesnt have privilege.', 'code': 31, 'type': 'Device'}}`)\r\n\r\nAnd then embed the JSON to the POST body to query the info\r\n   \r\n    {\"data\":{\"mydlink_id\":\"1234\",\"uid\":0,\"idx\":0,\"ctrl_id\":513}}\r\n\r\nOr add a value to set the privacy\r\n\r\n    {\"data\": {\"mydlink_id\": \"1234\", \"uid\": 0, \"idx\": 0, \"ctrl_id\": 513, \"value\": {\"value\": 2}}}\r\n\r\nOr PTZ\r\n\r\n    {\"data\": {\"mydlink_id\": \"1234\", \"uid\": 0, \"idx\": 0, \"ctrl_id\": 26, \"value\": {\"p\": 165, \"t\": 12, \"z\": 0}}}\r\n\r\nUnfortuately I'm getting the error above, and not when I query the device list and info...\r\n\r\nI'm SOOOO close of finding this, if you find anything that might help me a little thank you in advance!\r\n\r\nExample of implementation of the get privacy function\r\n\r\n    def get_device_privacy(self, mydlink_id:str) -\u003e json:\r\n\t\tdevice_privacy_url = \"https://{openapi}/v2/device/control?access_token={access_token}\".format(\r\n\t\t\topenapi=self.login_params.get('api_site')[0],\r\n\t\t\taccess_token=self.login_params.get('access_token')[0]\r\n\t\t)\r\n\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\tjson_object = {}\r\n\t\tjson_object['mydlink_id'] = mydlink_id\r\n\t\tjson_object['uid'] = 0\r\n\t\tjson_object['idx'] = 0\r\n\t\tjson_object['ctrl_id'] = 513\r\n\r\n\t\tjson_object_final = {}\r\n\t\tjson_object_final['data'] = json_object\r\n\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\tresponse = self.url_utils.get_request(url=device_privacy_url, type=self.url_utils.TYPE_POST,\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  input_json=json_object_final)\r\n\r\n\t\tdevice_privacy_json = Url.parse(response.content.decode('utf8'))\r\n\t\tprint(device_privacy_json)\r\n\t\treturn device_privacy_json['data']","author":{"url":"https://github.com/Goufalite","@type":"Person","name":"Goufalite"},"datePublished":"2021-07-18T22:07:44.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":5},"url":"https://github.com/6/MyDlink-API-Python/issues/6"}
