It's powered by the fantastic [requests](https://github.com/kennethreitz/requests) HTTP library. - -At its core, PyiCloud connects to iCloud using your username and password, then performs calendar and iPhone queries against their API. - -### Authentication - -Authentication is as simple as passing your username and password to the `PyiCloudService` class: - -``` ->>> from pyicloud import PyiCloudService ->>> api = PyiCloudService('jappleseed@apple.com', 'password') -``` - -In the event that the username/password combination is invalid, a `PyiCloudFailedLoginException` exception is thrown. - -### Devices - -You can list which devices associated with your account by using the `devices` property: - -``` ->>> api.devices -{ -u'i9vbKRGIcLYqJnXMd1b257kUWnoyEBcEh6yM+IfmiMLh7BmOpALS+w==': , -u'reGYDh9XwqNWTGIhNBuEwP1ds0F/Lg5t/fxNbI4V939hhXawByErk+HYVNSUzmWV': -} -``` - -and you can access individual devices by either their index, or their ID: - -``` ->>> api.devices[0] - ->>> api.devices['i9vbKRGIcLYqJnXMd1b257kUWnoyEBcEh6yM+IfmiMLh7BmOpALS+w=='] - -``` - -or, as a shorthand if you have only one associated apple device, you can simply use the `iphone` property to access the first device associated with your account: - -``` ->>> api.iphone - -``` - -Note: the first device associated with your account may not necessarily be your iPhone. - -### Find My iPhone - -Once you have successfully authenticated, you can start querying your data! - -#### Location - -Returns the device's last known location. The Find My iPhone app must have been installed and initialized. - -``` ->>> api.iphone.location() -{u'timeStamp': 1357753796553, u'locationFinished': True, u'longitude': -0.14189, u'positionType': u'GPS', u'locationType': None, u'latitude': 51.501364, u'isOld': False, u'horizontalAccuracy': 5.0} -``` - -#### Status - -The Find My iPhone response is quite bloated, so for simplicity's sake this method will return a subset of the properties. - -``` ->>> api.iphone.status() -{'deviceDisplayName': u'iPhone 5', 'deviceStatus': u'200', 'batteryLevel': 0.6166913, 'name': u"Peter's iPhone"} -``` - -If you wish to request further properties, you may do so by passing in a list of property names. - -#### Play Sound - -Sends a request to the device to play a sound, if you wish pass a custom message you can do so by changing the subject arg. - -``` ->>> api.iphone.play_sound() -``` - -A few moments later, the device will play a ringtone, display the default notification ("Find My iPhone Alert") and a confirmation email will be sent to you. - -#### Lost Mode - -Lost mode is slightly different to the "Play Sound" functionality in that it allows the person who picks up the phone to call a specific phone number *without having to enter the passcode*. Just like "Play Sound" you may pass a custom message which the device will display, if it's not overridden the custom message of "This iPhone has been lost. Please call me." is used. - -``` ->>> phone_number = '555-373-383' ->>> message = 'Thief!
