Is there no list anywhere of all that temporal controller object's methods?<br>
<br>
Yes, in the usual place (the PyQGIS API reference):<br>

>> Is there a way I can access and change/set stuff for the dynamic temporal controller programmatically in python? I'm looking to make a simple script that I can just cut and paste into the python console that will change the current frame of the DTC to a given timestamp, export the canvas to a PNG, and repeat for all the timestamps in an array.<br>
