TUYA API (Setup, Basics and FREE FINGERBOTS)  @MarkWattTech
Uploaded May 2021 | Updated September 2026, 2 weeks ago
In todays video we are looking at how to setup a Tuya Cloud Project. We will be running through all steps required including creating a developer account, setting up a project, setting up required APIs, connecting our Tuya / Smartlife app and importing our IOT devices and finally controlling a Fingerbot with the Tuya API Explorer. In this video we will be making use of the Adaprox Tuya Fingerbot which can be won by entering Tuyas competition.

Tuya is currently running a competition to encourage developers to create fun IOT projects. By completing "Missions" you can earn various prizes including a Free Fingerbot Robot, a $7 voucher and a $35 voucher.

For more information on the competition check out : pages.tuya.com/develop/ClickAndConnect_TuyaDeveloper?_source=ffd432425da8f368b77cdf079a965aa8

In the coming weeks I will be working on and sharing my own projects that utilize the Tuya API to control a robotic vacuum. I will also be updating my Local Tuya Key Extractor Project to make use of some of Tuya's API calls.

Curious about the Fingerbot?
