Secret APIs

Tapo cameras provide undocumented APIs we can use to control the camera (like using its official app). You can download my Insomnia API suite at this link. The suite is not complete yet.

I am writing this suite also by giving a look at the code of the awesome project pytapo.

Getting a Stok

Each API call is in the form https://{cameraa_ip}/stok={stok}/ds, hence you need your camera's IP and a token, called stok. You can obtain the stok by calling the GetStok request. Keep in mind that this token expires every x minutes (did not test the actual expiration time).
