Retrieve Historical Photo
curl --request GET \

Description:
Retrieves a single historical photo by its index. The index is typically a numeric identifier (e.g., 1, 2) corresponding to the order in which images were returned for that VIN. Example Request: 
GET https://historical.photos.vin/1HGCM82633A004352-1.jpg
Successful Response:
  • Returns the requested image file (e.g., JPEG).
  • Response includes Content-Type: image/jpeg.
  • May include caching headers such as Cache-Control to improve performance.
Error Case:
If the requested image doesn’t exist, a 404 Not Found response is returned. Ensure your integration handles such cases gracefully.

  • Caching: Leverage caching headers to reduce load times and bandwidth usage.
  • Error Handling: Implement robust error handling for non-existent VINs or indices.
