RPCS
----

.. function:: Wildcam.getCameras(latitude: Latitude?, longitude: Longitude?, radius: BoundedNumber<0>?)

    Returns all the cameras that are stored in the database, optionally filtering by proximity to a central location.

    **Arguments:**

    - ``latitude: Latitude?`` (`Latitude </docs/fundamentals/rpc-arg-types.html#Latitude>`__) - Filters results to only cameras within a given distance from a central location. Requires ``longitude`` and ``radius`` also be set.
    - ``longitude: Longitude?`` (`Longitude </docs/fundamentals/rpc-arg-types.html#Longitude>`__) - Filters results to only cameras within a given distance from a central location. Requires ``latitude`` and ``radius`` also be set.
    - ``radius: BoundedNumber<0>?`` (`BoundedNumber </docs/fundamentals/rpc-arg-types.html#BoundedNumber>`__) - Filters results to only cameras within a given distance (in meters) from a central location. Requires ``latitude`` and ``longitude`` also be set.

    **Returns:** ``List<Object>`` (`List </docs/fundamentals/rpc-arg-types.html#List>`__ | `Object </docs/fundamentals/rpc-arg-types.html#Object>`__) - All found cameras


.. function:: Wildcam.getImage(entry: Object)

    Gets the image associated with a given entry.
    The provided entry should be exactly the format that was returned by one of the various search RPCs in this service.

    **Arguments:**

    - ``entry: Object`` (`Object </docs/fundamentals/rpc-arg-types.html#Object>`__) - The search entry to get an image of

    **Returns:** ``Image`` (`Image </docs/fundamentals/rpc-arg-types.html#Image>`__) - The snapshot associated with the given entry


.. function:: Wildcam.getSpeciesList()

    Returns all the valid species that can be used by :func:`Wildcam.search`.

    **Returns:** ``List<Species>`` (`List </docs/fundamentals/rpc-arg-types.html#List>`__ | `Species </docs/fundamentals/rpc-arg-types.html#Species>`__) - All valid species in alphabetical order.


.. function:: Wildcam.search(startDate: Date?, stopDate: Date?, species: Species?, latitude: Latitude?, longitude: Longitude?, radius: BoundedNumber<0>?)

    Searches the database for wildlife camera entries.
    Each return value includes information about the contents of its associated image.
    You can pass an entry to :func:`Wildcam.getImage` to get the actual image being described.

    **Arguments:**

    - ``startDate: Date?`` (`Date </docs/fundamentals/rpc-arg-types.html#Date>`__) - The earliest date to include in the results. If omitted, no starting cutoff is used for filtering.
    - ``stopDate: Date?`` (`Date </docs/fundamentals/rpc-arg-types.html#Date>`__) - The latest date to include in the results. If omitted, no stopping cutoff is used for filtering.
    - ``species: Species?`` (`Species </docs/fundamentals/rpc-arg-types.html#Species>`__) - Filters results to only entries which contained the requested species. If omitted, no species filtering is performed.
    - ``latitude: Latitude?`` (`Latitude </docs/fundamentals/rpc-arg-types.html#Latitude>`__) - Filters results to only entries within a given distance from a central location. Requires ``longitude`` and ``radius`` also be set.
    - ``longitude: Longitude?`` (`Longitude </docs/fundamentals/rpc-arg-types.html#Longitude>`__) - Filters results to only entries within a given distance from a central location. Requires ``latitude`` and ``radius`` also be set.
    - ``radius: BoundedNumber<0>?`` (`BoundedNumber </docs/fundamentals/rpc-arg-types.html#BoundedNumber>`__) - Filters results to only entries within a given distance (in meters) from a central location. Requires ``latitude`` and ``longitude`` also be set.

    **Returns:** ``List<Object>`` (`List </docs/fundamentals/rpc-arg-types.html#List>`__ | `Object </docs/fundamentals/rpc-arg-types.html#Object>`__) - All data entries matching the search, in chronological order


.. function:: Wildcam.searchByCamera(startDate: Date?, stopDate: Date?, species: Species?, camera: Object?)

    Equivalent to :func:`Wildcam.search`, but can filter to only images taken by a specific camera.

    **Arguments:**

    - ``startDate: Date?`` (`Date </docs/fundamentals/rpc-arg-types.html#Date>`__) - The earliest date to include in the results. If omitted, no starting cutoff is used for filtering.
    - ``stopDate: Date?`` (`Date </docs/fundamentals/rpc-arg-types.html#Date>`__) - The latest date to include in the results. If omitted, no stopping cutoff is used for filtering.
    - ``species: Species?`` (`Species </docs/fundamentals/rpc-arg-types.html#Species>`__) - Filters results to only entries which contained the requested species. If omitted, no species filtering is performed.
    - ``camera: Object?`` (`Object </docs/fundamentals/rpc-arg-types.html#Object>`__) - Filters results to only entries taken by a specific camera. If omitted, no camera-based filtering is performed.
