How can I create an API key that accesses every user data?

Videos recorded with mobile phones are huge (I am not challenging their reasons for it), so I want to re-encode the videos uploaded to immich in order to save space, but I want to replace the original files instead of keeping them alongside.

For this, I am considering interacting with Immich through its API so the app is not tied to its internals.

After going through the OpenAPI spec here, it seems like this is not possible.

Is it really not possible, or have I missed something?
