life360-python

A simple python life360 client

I built this because I couldn't find a straight forward life360 client that wasn't based on some curl commands. It works.

Usage

It is pretty straight forward and should be easy to integrate with any project.

# basic authorization hash (base64 if you want to decode it and see the sekrets)
# this is a googleable or sniffable value. i imagine life360 changes this sometimes. 
authorization_token = "Y2F0aGFwYWNyQVBoZUtVc3RlOGV2ZXZldnVjSGFmZVRydVl1ZnJhYzpkOEM5ZVlVdkE2dUZ1YnJ1SmVnZXRyZVZ1dFJlQ1JVWQ=="

# your username and password (hope they are secure!)
username = "email@address.com"
password = "super long password"

#instantiate the API
api = life360(authorization_token=authorization_token, username=username, password=password)

#Authenticate! 
if api.authenticate():
    
    #Grab some circles returns json
    circles =  api.get_circles()
    
    #grab id
    id = circles[0]['id']
    
    #Let's get your circle!
    circle = api.get_circle(id)

Next?

Would love to see this integrated into some home assistant projects. Maybe pushing the updates to MQTT.
