Wondering about automation opportunities, and stumbled on this:
# BlinkMonitorProtocol
Unofficial documentation for the Client API of the Blink Wire-Free HD Home Monitoring & Alert System.
I am not affiliated with the company in any way - this documentation is strictly **"AS-IS"**. My goal was to uncover enough to arm and disarm the system programatically so that I can issue those commands in sync with my home alarm system arm/disarm. Just some raw notes at this point but should be enough for creating programmatic APIs. Lots more to be discovered and documented - feel free to contribute!
The Client API is a straightforward REST API using JSON and HTTPS.
## Login
Client login to the Blink Servers.
**Request:**
>curl -H "Host: prod.immedia-semi.com" -H "Content-Type: application/json" --data-binary '{
> "password" : "*your blink password*",
> "client_specifier" : "iPhone 9.2 | 2.2 | 222",
> "email" : "*your blink login/email*"
>}' --compressed https://rest.prod.immedia-semi.com/login
**Response:**
>{"authtoken":{"authtoken":"*an auth token*","message":"auth"},"networks":{"*network id*":{"name":"*name*","onboarded":true}},"region":{"*regioncode for endpoint*":"*region name"}}

If that works you basically have an automation dream, because you can do just about anything with it.
The risk is that is not an offical API so whatever you build on it may just completely break one day.
I have no experience with the product myself but it is likely that those are the APIs that deliver content and functionality to the app for the product

Amen to all of that.
If I get some time and motivation I may tinker with it a bit.
