Camera record() method always returns endpoint down or throttled
Describe the bug
I am able to connect and use some functions, but in particular the video record() function is constantly failing with the message
Connection error. Endpoint https://rest-u008.immedia-semi.com/network/<network-id>/camera/<camera-id>/clip possibly down or throttled. This continues to happen after numerous attempts.
I don't think there is any throttling issue as I am able to successfully invoke other methods like snap_picture(). Is anyone else experiencing this? Wondering if it is limited to the Blink Minis.
To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Complete the init and authorization process
- Attempt to start recording on any of the returned cameras by calling
blink.cameras['my-cam'].record().
Expected behavior Create a recording clip.

Hmm, could be that the API endpoint has changed. I've noticed that Blink has a tendency to mess with the endpoints of newer cameras for a couple years before they settle down.
I'll try to find some time this week to debug with my mini camera and see if A) I have the same issue and B) if I can find a solution.
What are the resources available to research the available API endpoints? I'd like to help find some resolution to this issue but not sure where to start documentation wise.
There aren't really any, unfortunately. It's all on users to discover based on network sniffing, etc. Most of this library is based on the work in this repo https://github.com/MattTW/BlinkMonitorProtocol
Hello, first of all ty for putting all of this together! is there any updates on this? or suggestion from other solutions?
