Get Archive Thumbnail
GET
http://lrr.tvc-16.science/api/archives/:id/thumbnail
Get a Thumbnail image for a given Archive. This endpoint will return a placeholder image if it doesn't already exist.
If you want to queue generation of the thumbnail in the background, you can use the no_fallback
query parameter. This will give you a background job ID instead of the placeholder.

Queue extraction of page thumbnails
POST
http://lrr.tvc-16.science/api/archives/:id/files/thumbnails
Create thumbnails for every page of a given Archive. This endpoint will queue generation of the thumbnails in the background. If all thumbnails are detected as already existing, the call will return HTTP code 200. This endpoint can be called multiple times -- If a thumbnailing job is already in progress for the given ID, it'll just give you the ID for that ongoing job.
Path Parameters
id*
string
ID of the Archive to process.
Query Parameters
force
boolean
Whether to force regeneration of all thumbnails even if they already exist.
Download an Archive
GET
http://lrr.tvc-16.science/api/archives/:id/download

Path Parameters
id*
string
ID of the Archive to download.
Extract an Archive
GET
http://lrr.tvc-16.science/api/archives/:id/files
Get a list of URLs pointing to the images contained in an archive. If necessary, this endpoint also launches a background Minion job to extract the archive so it is ready for reading.
Path Parameters
id*
string
ID of the Archive to process.

Existing cached files might still be used in subsequent /api/archives/:id/page

Update Reading Progression
PUT
http://lrr.tvc-16.science/api/archives/:id/progress/:page
Tell the server which page of this Archive you're currently showing/reading, so that it updates its internal reading progression accordingly. This endpoint will also update the date this Archive was last read, using the current server timestamp.
You should call this endpoint only when you're sure the user is currently reading the page you present. Don't use it when preloading images off the server.
Whether to make reading progression regressible or not is up to the client. (The web client will reduce progression if the user starts reading previous pages) Consider however removing the "New!" flag from an archive when you start updating its progress - The web client won't display any reading progression if the new flag is still set.
β If the server is configured to use clientside progress tracking, this API call will return an error!
Make sure to check using /api/info
whether the server tracks reading progression or not before calling this endpoint.

id*
string
ID of the Archive to process
page*
int
Current page to update the reading progress to. Must be a positive integer, and inferior or equal to the total page number of the archive.
