Abstract
In embodiments of a camera system application program interface (API) for third-party integrations, a camera device captures images as a video stream and communicates the video stream to a cloud-based service. The cloud-based service implements a service application that processes video data received as the video stream. The cloud-based service exposes the camera system API that can be invoked by a third-party application running on a client device to request the video data and camera data that is associated with the camera device. The API permits access by the third-party application to the video data and the camera data from the cloud-based service. The API is exposed for the third-party application to communicate with the cloud-based service via a network connection, and the camera device communicates with the cloud-based service via a secure connection to provide the requested camera data and communicate the video stream to the cloud-based service.
