Here’s a PowerShell script to grab an image from your updated server every minute: If you are using a script from 2018 that relies on

while ($true) 
    $response = Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "http://localhost:8080/api/v1/snapshot/cam1?token=YOUR_NEW_TOKEN" -OutFile "C:\WebcamXP\Snapshots\$(Get-Date -Format 'yyyyMMdd_HHmmss').jpg"
    Start-Sleep -Seconds 60
