Hello, everyone!
This post is about the API for Huawei LAN/WAN LTE modems. Please see more details below.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
About the API for Huawei LAN/WAN LTE modems, you can use this to simply send SMSs, get information about your internet usage, signal and tons of other stuff.
Tested on:
Huawei B310s-22;
Huawei B525s-23a;
Huawei B525s-65a;
Huawei B715s-23c;
Huawei E3131;
Huawei E5186s-22a.
Will NOT work on:
Huawei B2368-22 (incompatible firmware, testing device needed!)
P.S.: it is funny how much stuff you can request from your modem/router without any authentication!
INSTALLATION
PIP (pip3 on some distros)
$ pip install huawei-lte-api
Repository
You can also use these repositories maintained by me.
Debian and derivates
Add repository by running these commands:
$ wget -O - https://apt.salamek.cz/apt/conf/salamek.gpg.key|sudo apt-key add -
$ echo "deb https://apt.salamek.cz/apt all main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/salamek.cz.list
And then you can install a package python3-huawei-lte-api:
$ apt update && apt install python3-huawei-lte-api
Archlinux
Add the repository by adding this at end of the file /etc/pacman.conf:
[salamek]
Server = https://arch.salamek.cz/any
SigLevel = Optional
And then install by running:
$ pacman -Sy python-huawei-lte-api
USAGE
from huawei_lte_api.Client import Client
from huawei_lte_api.AuthorizedConnection import AuthorizedConnection
from huawei_lte_api.Connection import Connection
# connection = Connection('http://192.168.8.1/') For limited access, I have valid credentials no need for limited access
# connection = AuthorizedConnection('http://admin:MY_SUPER_TRUPER_PASSWORD@192.168.8.1/', login_on_demand=True) # If you wish to login on demand (when call requires authorization), pass login_on_demand=True
connection = AuthorizedConnection('http://admin:MY_SUPER_TRUPER_PASSWORD@192.168.8.1/')
client = Client(connection) # This just simplifies access to separate API groups, you can use device = Device(connection) if you want
print(client.device.signal()) # Can be accessed without authorization
print(client.device.information()) # Needs valid authorization, will throw exception if invalid credentials are passed in URL
# For more API calls, just look on code in the huawei_lte_api/api folder, there is no separate DOC yet.
