controling Wi-Fi setting and Bluetooth setting with python

Hi Avishka

Yes, you can control Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and other network connections using Python. Microsoft provides a set of APIs called the Windows Device Portal (WDP) that allows programmatic management of various aspects of a Windows device, including network connections. The WDP provides a RESTful API that can be accessed using Python or any other programming language capable of making HTTP requests.

Here's a high-level overview of how you can control network connections using Python and the Windows Device Portal API:

Enable the Windows Device Portal on your Windows device:

• Go to "Settings" > "Update & Security" > "For developers".
• Enable "Developer mode".
• Enable "Device discovery" under "Device portal".
• Note the URL and credentials (username and password) displayed on the page.

Install the necessary Python libraries:

• Install the "requests" library, which allows you to make HTTP requests in Python. You can install it using pip: pip install requests.

Write Python code to interact with the Windows Device Portal API:

• Import the "requests" library in your Python script.
• Use the requests library to make HTTP requests to the Windows Device Portal API endpoints.
• Authenticate by including the username and password in the request headers or by using the session authentication feature of the requests library.
• Use the appropriate API endpoints to control Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or other network connections. The API provides methods for enabling/disabling connections, scanning for available networks, connecting to a specific network, etc.

Here's a simple example that demonstrates how to disable Wi-Fi using the Windows Device Portal API in Python:

import requests

# Specify the URL of your Windows device's Device Portal
device_portal_url = 'http://<device-ip-address>/api'

# Specify the username and password for authentication
username = 'admin'
password = 'password'

# Disable Wi-Fi using the Device Portal API
url = f'{device_portal_url}/interfaces/wifi/state'
headers = {'Content-Type': 'application/json'}
data = {'state': False}
response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, auth=(username, password), json=data)

# Check the response status
if response.status_code == 200:
    print('Wi-Fi disabled successfully.')
else:
    print('Failed to disable Wi-Fi.')
    print('Response:', response.text)

Note that this is a simplified example, and you may need to refer to the Windows Device Portal API documentation for more specific details on controlling different types of network connections.

Please refer to the official Microsoft documentation for the Windows Device Portal API for more information and detailed API reference: Windows Device Portal API.

Keep in mind that controlling network connections may require administrative privileges, so make sure you run your Python script with appropriate permissions.
