I emailed the Ring team to see if there was an API or way to call it externally from their traditional flow. They said they have nothing in the pipeline… however the support team will submit it to the developers as a request and see what happens.
In the meantime… we might be able to make use of python with Twill/Mechanize… I was hoping to avoid that route but will give it a go… The point of my post was to avoid this method …
Thanks everyone! If I hobble something together Ill post it here.
