My use case would be grabbing screenshots of multi-channel tournament coverage and cutting out the part of the image which shows the teams currently playing. This would allow users to see, who is playing on what stream, with one button press. I’m mainly targeting games with varying game time, where the preset schedules are usually not representative of the actual game times.
This use case obviously doesn’t require the thumbnail image to be updated every second. Every minute or two would probably work. But the current interval of ~5 minutes is too long to be useful.
If timely on-demand images of a stream are too much to handle for the API, would it be possible to limit those requests per user? Or maybe give the same preview image to multiple requests, as long as they were made in the same minute?
