Custom presets in API call

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<query>
    <userid><<id>></userid> <!-- required-->
    <userkey><<key>></userkey> <!-- required-->
    <action>[Action]</action> <!-- required-->
    <format>
        <output>[PRESET_NAME]</output>
    </format>
</query>

{
    "query": {
        "userid": "<<id>>",
        "userkey": "<<key>>",
        "action": "[Action]",
        "format": {
            "output": "[PRESET_NAME]"
        }
    }
}

You could create and configure your custom output format in the user Interface. After that you will be able to use custom output formats in API calls as well.

Setting display aspect ratio

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<query>
    <userid><<id>></userid> <!-- required-->
    <userkey><<key>></userkey> <!-- required-->
    <action>[Action]</action> <!-- required-->
    <format>
        <!-- Format fields -->
        <set_aspect_ratio>[ASPECT_RATIO]</set_aspect_ratio>
        <!-- ... -->
    </format>
</query>

{
    "query": {
        "userid": "<<id>>",
        "userkey": "<<key>>",
        "action": "[Action]",
        "format": {
            "set_aspect_ratio": "[ASPECT_RATIO]"
        }
    }
}

Format Name	Description	Allowed Values	Default Values
set_aspect_ratio	Display aspect ratio (DAR). When set, the option keep_aspect_ratio will be ignored.

Added a Noise Reduction filter

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<query>
    <userid><<id>></userid> <!-- required-->
    <userkey><<key>></userkey> <!-- required-->
    <action>[Action]</action> <!-- required-->
    <format>
        <!-- Format fields -->
        <noise_reduction>luma_spatial:chroma_spatial:luma_temp</noise_reduction>
        <!-- ... -->
    </format>
</query>

{
    "query": {
        "userid": "<<id>>",
        "userkey": "<<key>>",
        "action": "[Action]",
        "format": {
            "noise_reduction": "luma_spatial:chroma_spatial:luma_temp"
        }
    }
}

Format Name	Description	Allowed Values	Default Values
luma_spatial	Spatial Luma Strength.	[0,255]	4:3:6
