Find frames by specific cinematography craft attributes — lens character, shot size, visual style, setting, time of day, director, or year range. All optional; combine to narrow. Use this to refine a search precisely.
e.g. "anamorphic", "spherical", "vintage_soft"
"interior" or "exterior"
e.g. "closeup", "wide", "medium"
e.g. "night", "day"

}Find frames visually/semantically similar to a given frame id (from a prior result). Use this to pull more references like one the user shortlisted.

}Get the full metadata + preview thumbnail + full-resolution image URL + depth map URL + link for a single frame id. The depth map is precomputed and free — use it when the user is generating images and needs the composition or camera geometry of this frame.

}Search the FrameThrower cinematography reference library by concept, mood, color, composition, or scene. Returns reference frames with film/credits metadata, a preview thumbnail, the full-resolution image URL (use this one for slide decks and documents), a precomputed DEPTH MAP url (greyscale, same dimensions as the frame — pass it straight to a depth ControlNet or any image-to-image pipeline that wants geometry), and a link to view on FrameThrower.
