API request via cURL

I feel like I'm an idiot, I'm trying to trigger library rescan via API ( https://immich.app/docs/api/scan-library ) To do that, I need to get library ID(s) - https://immich.app/docs/api/get-all-libraries/ Here's my command:

curl -X POST "https://immich.example.com/api/libraries?direction=getAllLibraries" \
-H "x-api-key: API_Key_created_in_user_settings_webui" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"ownerId": "id_of_my_user_with_ext_library"}'

curl -X POST "https://immich.example.com/api/libraries?direction=getAllLibraries" \
-H "x-api-key: API_Key_created_in_user_settings_webui" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"ownerId": "id_of_my_user_with_ext_library"}'

the response I get:

{"id":"9adf1f07-5d22-49a0-a853-6c143b00cd4c","ownerId":"my_user_id","name":"New External Library","createdAt":"2025-01-02T15:11:08.046Z","updatedAt":"2025-01-02T15:11:08.046Z","refreshedAt":null,"assetCount":0,"importPaths":[],"exclusionPatterns":["**/@eaDir/**","**/._*"]}

the effect I get: my user has just created a new external library. Currently existing are missing from the reponse. WTH am I doing wrong here??

Immich upload thorugh CloudFlare - max_upload_size limit

Hello everyone! 👋 I recently shared an album with some friends and encouraged them to upload photos from our trip. My Immich instance is exposed via a Cloudflare Tunnel. Here’s the issue: each of them wanted to upload a large number of photos, but they ran into an error whenever their uploads exceeded 100 MB. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find any relevant logs in Immich. After some investigation, I discovered that the free Cloudflare tier has a max_upload_file size limit of 100 MB. Could this be the cause? Specifically: - Does Immich handle batch uploads as a single HTTP request, which might be restricted by this file size limit? - Or could there be another issue I need to dig into? If the batch upload is sent as a single HTTP request, wouldn’t it make sense to split each file into separate requests? This could potentially bypass the max_upload_file limit and also allow for parallel uploads, improving efficiency. Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! 😊
