Export video from Axis Camera Station by API

[justiceb]

Hello,

We have several instances of Axis Camera Station running at our company.
We have identified the need to export video files from our Axis Camera Station programatically.
At the moment, we use the "Export video" user interface on the Axis Camera Station Client, but we need to be able to automate this work.

Using wireshark, I have been able to figure out that the Axis Camera Station Client is placing a HTTP call to the server to perform the video export:
POST /Acs/Streaming/Proprietary/?mode=playback&session=zbl3FVjGiWyR&token=<token>&start=2024-05-28-161016-7060000Z&end=2024-05-28-161039-2720000Z&prerolling=0&quality=medium&camera=278461 HTTP/1.1 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 Host: <address>:55752 Content-Length: 4 Expect: 100-continue Connection: Keep-Alive

Does anyone have any information on this API?
I recognize that this appears to be a proprietary endpoint, but I would really love to get this working juuust enough to enable an automated video workflow for ourselves.
Otherwise, I think we have to start looking at other NVR solutions.

Thanks!
