API Endpoint for finding camera's latest event_id #14988

Closed distinctjuggle closed 6 hours ago

distinctjuggle commented 6 hours ago

Describe what you are trying to accomplish and why in non technical terms I want to be able to reliably get the latest event_id from a camera via API. I'd like to use this to enable further API functionality.

Describe the solution you'd like An API endpoint similar to GET /api/events?camera=camname where it will return the latest event_id in the results. I specifically would like it to be filtered to a single camera.

Describe alternatives you've considered The closest I've found is GET /api/events/summary/ but it isn't limited to a single camera and there seems to be no way to request it as such.

Additional context Add any other context or screenshots about the feature request here.

This should be accomplished by just using /api/events?sort=date_desc&limit=1&camera=camera_name

Weird, I wasn't finding the id with my previous query. It's working now though, thanks!
