Disk Station Manager API

Disk Station Manager is the name of the system on any Synology NAS devices.

Quick start

To start using the NAS API, you need to import the library:

from synolopy import NasApi

nas = NasApi('http://192.168.0.99:5000/webapi/', 'admin', 'my_super_strong_password')

Basically, any API request follows this pattern:

nas.application.service.request(method, [params])

For further information about methods and parameters, you need to read the official documentation of the related application (cf. docs linked above).
