Probably not the fault of this module in any way, but filing here to track it.

https://www.dropcam.com/api/v1/cameras.get_image is returning a 404 as of this afternoon.

https://www.dropcam.com/api/v1/cameras.get works however.

Inspecting the JS on the Dropcam web console, it looks like the URL they're still using is:

https://nexusapi.dropcam.com/get_image?width=nnn&uuid=xxx

This may be Cookie related.

The Cookie this module uses, per Dropcam.cookie, resembles this:

website_2=xxx; Domain=.dropcam.com; httponly; Path=/; secure

The Cookie returned by Dropcam's web port does not have the Domain, httponly, Path or secure fields.

Negating those fields resolves and reverting to the nexusapi url resolves the 404 problem and returns an image.

I tried to create a dropcam obj using d = Dropcam(<MY USERNAME>, <MY PASSWORD>) and get error HTTPError: HTTP Error 405: METHOD NOT ALLOWED. Should I use the username and password to login Dropcam website or something else?

login failed and returned status code 200. login json: {"status": 400, "items": [], "status_description": "bad-request", "status_detail": "No user is identified with this information."}

These same credentials work with this other library: https://github.com/alexlincoln/dropcam.

I was able to create a Dropcam instance and log in to my camera, but I'm having the following failure. I know that login was successful because I am able to access the properties such as camera on/off status. Can you recommend any trouble shooting? I'm running on linux. Thanks.

temp = c.get_image()

We want JSON.

When I try to login I get this error. I am certain my credentials are correct, a possible bug?:

login failed and returned status code 200. login json: {"status": 400, "items": [], "status_description": "bad-request", "status_detail": "The username and password do not match"}

Thanks for the great work. I just purchase the second dropcam and have trouble to obtain both image. Could you please have a look?

c = d.cameras()[1]
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
IndexError: list index out of range

from dropcam import Dropcam
d = Dropcam(username, password)
c = d.cameras()[0]
c.save_image('image.jpg')

I tried with the sample code, and got size 0 image.jpg . I am very confused. Any suggestion?

It looks like Dropcam now requires the Referer header to be set (according to http://support.dropcam.com/entries/21455573-dropcam-API), otherwise the login method fails.

This repo shows 0.3.2. But pypi says 0.4.0. Did you release a 0.4.0 and then pull it back?

I am using it by cron, and getting ERROR report to mail. It is very annoying. Is it possible to disable? THANKS!
