# Secret APIs
Tapo cameras provide undocumented APIs we can use to control them (simulating the use of their official app).
You can download my [Insomnia](https://insomnia.rest/) API collection [at this link](https://github.com/xfarrow/tapo-camera/blob/main/secret-apis/TapoCameraAPIs.yaml). The collection is not complete yet.
I am writing this collection also by giving a look at the code of the awesome project [pytapo](https://github.com/JurajNyiri/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 `GetStok`. Keep in mind that this token expires every `x` minutes (I did not test the actual expiration time yet).
