Send Photo

Send a photo URL to active connections for a community user ID.

POST https://api.sonorancad.com/v2/general/photos

Rate limit: 10 requests per minute Authenticated v2 endpoints are rate limited per API key rather than per IP address.

Send a photo URL to every active connection linked to a community user ID.

Request Body

Use communityUserId by default, or provide roblox or discord to target the linked account that should receive the photo.

{
  "communityUserId": "player-1234",
  "url": "https://cdn.example.com/mugshots/example.png"
}

Example Request

-- luarocks install sonoran.lua
-- For SonoranCADFiveM in-game usage, see the SonoranCADFiveM tab for the export-based client.
local Sonoran = require("sonoran")

local sonoran = Sonoran.createClient({
  product = Sonoran.productEnums.CAD,
  communityId = "YOUR_COMMUNITY_ID",
  apiKey = "YOUR_API_KEY",
  defaultServerId = 1
})

local response = sonoran.cad:sendPhotoV2({
    communityUserId = 'player-1234',
    url = 'https =//example.com/mugshot.png',
  })

-- Inspect response.success, response.data, or response.reason as needed.
print(response.success)

Use this tab only when calling the v2 API from the server side of an in-game FiveM resource.

Sonoran.lua and Sonoran.js: use the sonorancad export to get the ready CAD client.
Sonoran.Net: FiveM exports do not return a .NET client. Read the Sonoran CAD convars and create a fresh client.
Sonoran.py: FiveM does not run Python resources; use the Python tab for external integrations.

The API key is stored in sonoran_apiKey as a protected FiveM convar. FiveM restricts a convar after add_convar_permission is configured, so only explicitly permitted resources can read it. Grant another resource access with add_convar_permission your-resource-name read sonoran_apiKey. If you change the API key in config.json, fully restart the sonorancad resource before reading the updated convar value.

Sonoran.lua

local cad = exports["sonorancad"]:getCadClient()

Sonoran.js

const cad = exports["sonorancad"].getCadClient();

Sonoran.Net

// dotnet add package Sonoran.Net
using CitizenFX.Core.Native;
using Sonoran;

var communityId = API.GetConvar("sonoran_communityID", "");
var apiKey = API.GetConvar("sonoran_apiKey", "");
var serverIdRaw = API.GetConvar("sonoran_serverId", "1");
var serverId = int.TryParse(serverIdRaw, out var parsedServerId) ? parsedServerId : 1;

using var sonoran = new SonoranClient(new SonoranClientOptions
{
    product = SonoranProduct.CAD,
    communityId = communityId,
    apiKey = apiKey,
    defaultServerId = serverId
});

After getting the Lua export client:

local response = cad:sendPhotoV2({
    apiId = '1234567890',
    url = 'https =//example.com/mugshot.png',
  })

-- Inspect response.success, response.data, or response.reason as needed.
print(response.success)

// npm install @sonoransoftware/sonoran.js
// For SonoranCADFiveM in-game usage, see the SonoranCADFiveM tab for the export-based client.
const Sonoran = require('@sonoransoftware/sonoran.js');

(async () => {
  const instance = new Sonoran.Instance({
    communityId: 'YOUR_COMMUNITY_ID',
    apiKey: 'YOUR_API_KEY',
    product: Sonoran.productEnums.CAD,
    serverId: 1,
  });

  const response = await instance.cad.sendPhotoV2({
    communityUserId: 'player-1234',
    url: 'https://example.com/mugshot.png',
  });
  console.log(response);
})();

# pip install Sonoran.py

)

response = instance.cad.sendPhotoV2({
    "communityUserId": 'player-1234',
    "url": 'https://example.com/mugshot.png',
  })

print(response.success)
print(response.data if response.success else response.reason)

// dotnet add package Sonoran.Net
// For SonoranCADFiveM in-game usage, see the SonoranCADFiveM tab; .NET creates a fresh client from convars.
