Thank you for your reply. I do realize that the process of fetching the snapshot image may take some time. As I wrote above, I don’t find it odd that it may return 404 for a while, while it’s being processed. What is weird is that some specific timestamps fails, always. The second before and the second after works, so the call seems correct and the camera was on, right? Also, fetching new snapshots for that specific timestamp never returns functioning URLs. That second of footage just seems broken. The timestamps are passed as ISO8601 as stated by the docs.

Not sending the content-type header is not a good idea. If you don't send it the post body is ignored, meaning the timestamp is ignored, so you get a snapshot from now instead of the timestamp you send.

Hi! When I request snapshot images from the API: POST /networks/{networkId}/cameras/{serial}/snapshot passing a timestamp in the post body. I sometimes get a URL back that doesn't work. Often, the URL returns 404 for a few seconds, so after a retry or two I get the image, but sometimes the URL never works. It doesn't matter if I request new URLs, they never work for that specific timestamp. The second before and after works, but not that specific second. Is this normal? It seems a bit odd to me.

Hi! I'm working with the Meraki API and realized I was rate limited. I know I'm allowed 5 calls/second/organization. But, for how long am I rate limited? I would have assumed I'm just rate limited for a second or so but I've been rate limited for a long time now. Anyone knows how this works?
