Snapshot of an LPR Event

We are doing an integration with XProtect, we’ve managed to get the LPR event via a WebHook and it works terrific. We get the Event data with the LPR text etc.

However, we would also like to fetch a snapshot of the entry with the REST API. Snapshot image data doesn’t seem to be included in the LPR JSON event data. In the end of the event we see “ReferenceList”:null,“SnapshotList”:null,“Vendor”:null},

I’ve read on this post with similar issue: Get the snapshot from a LPR Event (milestonesys.com)

but it seems not it was solved as I understand it.

Can anyone point us to how and where in the REST API we can fetch the corresponding snapshot of a LPR event? We’ve also tried configuring the rule to record during an LPR event if that helps but still the same question, how do we fetch the corresponding snapshot for the LPR event with the REST API?

Thank you in advance

I will repeat from the thread you point to..

Milestone XProtect LPR does not save snapshots. Instead it relies on the other information in the analytics event and uses the information about time and camera to retrieve recorded footage from the time.

There is a sample that I made very long ago that includes how to use the camera and timestamp from an event to fetch a picture. https://download.milestonesys.com/MIPSDK/Samples/AlarmEventPictures.zip

The sample is not Rest API, the Rest API does not currently include the capability of retrieving a recorded image.
