Where are API docs for Nest Camera?

4.8k views Asked by At

I have looked all through the Nest developers site, and I can't find anything related to the camera. I can find plenty of great information on the thermostat and the smoke / CO alarm, but nothing for the camera.

In particular, I'm looking for how to get the video URL, how to get/set video resolution and frame rate, and how to get/set the zoom level (if applicable). Thanks.

As a short update to this question: I believe Nest made an API for the camera available today: https://developer.nest.com/documentation/api-reference/overview#cameras

I believe that the Dropcam (Nest camera) API is still in Beta. You can sign up for the beta here.

There are no Nest Cam API's at the moment. However, we're hearing feedback asking for them. I'd love to hear what you would use them for.
