SnapOtterandGitHub 00b651c9f8 feat(i18n): 21-language pipeline, landing/docs/API wiring, landing+API translations
Shared Claude Code translation pipeline (scripts/i18n, no API key) plus Astro/VitePress/Scalar i18n wiring. Landing and API reference translated into all 20 languages; docs i18n wiring + English source anchors. The translated docs markdown (apps/docs/<locale>/**, 3,620 files) follows in a companion PR because it exceeds GitHub's per-PR CI file limit.

API Endpoint

POST /api/v1/tools/video/video-to-frames

Accepts multipart form data with a video file and a JSON settings field.

Parameters

Parameter Type Required Default Description
mode string No "all" Extraction mode: all, nth, timestamps
n integer No 10 Extract every Nth frame (2-1000). Only used when mode is "nth"
timestamps string No "" Comma-separated timestamps in seconds. Required when mode is "timestamps"
format string No "png" Image format for extracted frames: png, jpg

Example Request

Extract every 30th frame as JPG:

curl -X POST http://localhost:1349/api/v1/tools/video/video-to-frames \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer si_your-api-key" \
  -F "file=@clip.mp4" \
  -F 'settings={"mode": "nth", "n": 30, "format": "jpg"}'

Extract frames at specific timestamps:

curl -X POST http://localhost:1349/api/v1/tools/video/video-to-frames \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer si_your-api-key" \
  -F "file=@clip.mp4" \
  -F 'settings={"mode": "timestamps", "timestamps": "1.5,5,12.3"}'

Example Response

{
  "jobId": "a1b2c3d4-e5f6-7890-abcd-ef1234567890",
  "downloadUrl": "/api/v1/download/a1b2c3d4-e5f6-7890-abcd-ef1234567890/clip-frames.zip",
  "originalSize": 12500000,
  "processedSize": 45000000
}

Notes

  • The all mode extracts every frame and can produce very large ZIP files for long videos. Use nth or timestamps mode for selective extraction.
  • PNG preserves full quality but produces larger files. JPG is smaller but lossy.
  • The response downloads as a ZIP archive containing sequentially numbered image files.
