Access to clean PNG through api URL

[mathgim]

Is it possible to access the clean PNG picture through a URL for a specific event? By the way, it seems that the snapshot is done using the sub stream, the one used for detection, and not the main stream, the one used for recording. So the quality of the snapshot isn't that good. Hopefully, it can be better with the PNG picture.

You can use the /clips/ directory API to get it.

And yes it uses the detect stream, there are many reasons why using the main stream is difficult and won't work as well for event snapshots. In the next version there will be an api to pull a snapshot from the recordings

Okay, could you please guide me through on which url to use exactly to get the PNG picture?

It is http://frigate_ip:5000/clips/{camera_name}-{event_id}-clean.png

What about for external url? I use something like that to get the snapshot.

That is the home assistant api with the frigate integration, I don't think it exposes the clip path

Did you find a proper way to get png like this way: GET /api//latest.jpg[?h=300] Sadly my other device can use only png :(
