PyiCloud is a module which allows one to interact with iCloud webservices. It is written in Python and you can access your iCloud either with password/username or with Two-factor authentication (2FA). You can:
- list which devices are associated with your account
- obtain the device’s last known location. The Find My iPhone app must have been installed and initialized.
- send a request to the device to play a sound
- activate the ’lost mode' Lost mode is slightly different to the “Play Sound” functionality in that it allows the person who picks up the phone to call a specific phone number without having to enter the passcode. Just like “Play Sound” you may pass a custom message which the device will display, if it’s not overridden the custom message of “This iPhone has been lost. Please call me.” is used.
