Extracting one frame with JSON API

Q: I still have a problem extracting a single frame from a specific date:

http://10.123.456.789:10091/?archive_frame=&archive=Preview%2BArchive.11&archive_minutes=00:00:45&archive_date=2023-01-30&&archive_millis=0&maxResolution=640×480&scaleFactor=100

I get the same output as

http://10.123.456.789:10091/?archive_minutes=00:58&archive_date=2023-01-30&archive=Preview%2BArchive.36

(json with times) – where I should get a single frame. What’s wrong?

A: Not sure what seems to be the problem – the command you are specifying is supposed to return you a base64 encoded jpeg frame (JSON notation), not the jpg file itself.
Please have a look at the documentation here
