Wyze Python API Docs | dltHub
Build a Wyze-to-database pipeline in Python using dlt with AI harness support for Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex.
Last updated:
Wyze provides a first-party developer API portal for generating credentials to access Wyze cloud services used by the mobile application. The REST API base URL is https://api.wyzecam.com and all requests require a bearer token obtained via an API key and email-password exchange.
dlt is an open-source Python library that handles authentication, pagination, and schema evolution automatically. dlthub provides AI context files that enable code assistants to generate production-ready pipelines. Install with uv add "dlt[hub]" and start loading Wyze data in under 10 minutes.
What data can I load from Wyze?
Here are some of the endpoints you can load from Wyze:
| Resource | Endpoint | Method | Data selector | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| login | /app/user/login | POST | Authenticates user and retrieves access token. | |
| device_list | /app/v2/home_page/get_object_list | POST | Retrieves the list of user devices. | |
| property_list | /app/v2/device/get_property_list | POST | Retrieves properties for a specific device. | |
| user_info | /app/user/get_user_info | POST | Retrieves authenticated user account details. | |
| refresh_token | /app/user/refresh_token | POST | Exchanges refresh token for a new access token. | |
| lock_records | /app/device/get_records | POST | Retrieves lock event records for a device. |
How do I authenticate with the Wyze API?
Authentication requires a two-step process: first, POST login credentials (email, triple-MD5 hashed password) to the auth endpoint with Keyid and Apikey headers to obtain a bearer token, which is then used as an Authorization header for subsequent requests.
1. Get your credentials
To obtain your Wyze API credentials, navigate to the official Wyze Developer API Console at https://developer-api-console.wyze.com/. Log in with your standard Wyze account credentials. Once authenticated, the portal will display an option to 'Create an API key'. After generating the key, click 'View' to display both your 'API Key' and 'Key ID'. Wyze will also send a confirmation email once the key is generated.
2. Add them to .dlt/secrets.toml
[sources.wyze_source] api_key = "REPLACE_ME"
dlt reads this automatically at runtime — never hardcode tokens in your pipeline script. For production environments, see setting up credentials with dlt for environment variable and vault-based options.
How do I set up and run the pipeline?
Set up a virtual environment and install dlt:
uv init uv add "dlt[hub]"
1. Install the dlt AI harness:
uv run dlthub ai init --agent <your-agent> # <agent>: claude | cursor | codex
This installs project rules, a secrets management skill, appropriate ignore files, and configures the dlt MCP server for your agent. Learn more →
2. Install the rest-api-pipeline toolkit:
uv run dlthub ai toolkit install rest-api-pipeline
This loads the skills and context about dlt the agent uses to build the pipeline iteratively, efficiently, and safely. The agent uses MCP tools to inspect credentials — it never needs to read your secrets.toml directly. Learn more →
3. Start LLM-assisted coding:
Use /find-source to load data from the Wyze API into DuckDB.
The rest-api-pipeline toolkit takes over from here — it reads relevant API documentation, presents you with options for which endpoints to load, and follows a structured workflow to scaffold, debug, and validate the pipeline step by step.
4. Run the pipeline:
uv run python wyze_pipeline.py
If everything is configured correctly, you'll see output like this:
Pipeline wyze_pipeline load step completed in 0.26 seconds 1 load package(s) were loaded to destination duckdb and into dataset wyze_data The duckdb destination used duckdb:/wyze.duckdb location to store data Load package 1749667187.541553 is LOADED and contains no failed jobs
Inspect your pipeline and data:
uv run dlthub show
This opens the Pipeline Dashboard where you can verify pipeline state, load metrics, schema (tables, columns, types), and query the loaded data directly.
Python pipeline example
This example loads https://auth-prod.api.wyze.com/api/user/login and https://api.wyzecam.com/app/user/refresh_token from the Wyze API into DuckDB. It mirrors the endpoint and data selector configuration from the table above:
import dlt from dlt.sources.rest_api import RESTAPIConfig, rest_api_resources @dlt.source def wyze_source(api_key=dlt.secrets.value): config: RESTAPIConfig = { "client": { "base_url": "https://api.wyzecam.com", "auth": {"type": "bearer", "token": api_key}, }, "resources": [ {"name": "device_list", "endpoint": {"path": "app/v2/home_page/get_object_list", "data_selector": "data"}}, {"name": "user_info", "endpoint": {"path": "app/user/get_user_info", "data_selector": "data"}} ], } yield from rest_api_resources(config) def get_data() -> None: pipeline = dlt.pipeline( pipeline_name="wyze_pipeline", destination="duckdb", dataset_name="wyze_data", ) load_info = pipeline.run(wyze_source()) print(load_info)
To add more endpoints, append entries from the resource table to the "resources" list using the same name, path, and data_selector pattern.
How do I query the loaded data?
Once the pipeline runs, dlt creates one table per resource. You can query with Python or SQL.
Python (pandas DataFrame):
import dlt data = dlt.pipeline("wyze_pipeline").dataset() sessions_df = data.device_list.df() print(sessions_df.head())
SQL (DuckDB example):
SELECT * FROM wyze_data.device_list LIMIT 10;
In a marimo or Jupyter notebook:
import dlt data = dlt.pipeline("wyze_pipeline").dataset() data.device_list.df().head()
See how to explore your data in marimo Notebooks and how to query your data in Python with dataset.
What destinations can I load Wyze data to?
dlt supports loading into any of these destinations — only the destination parameter changes:
| Destination | Example value |
|---|---|
| DuckDB (local, default) | "duckdb" |
| PostgreSQL | "postgres" |
| BigQuery | "bigquery" |
| Snowflake | "snowflake" |
| Redshift | "redshift" |
| Databricks | "databricks" |
| Filesystem (S3, GCS, Azure) | "filesystem" |
Change the destination in dlt.pipeline(destination="snowflake") and add credentials in .dlt/secrets.toml. See the full destinations list.
