Direct link to image file
Hi, I'd like to know if there is a way to create a direct link to a file using the API. My app requires sending an image link to a 3rd party's API for image recognition. When I test the link created ...
Thanks for the link. Neat tool. I found a solution!
The share/get_temporary_link is the one you want. You can test it out in the API explorer real quick to verify before you write the code.
Cheers!
Hi, thanks for the reply. The API is expecting a URL to the image. You can actually see for yourself here https://imagga.com/auto-tagging-demo
Links generated via the Dropbox API do not work as I assume the URL given is a 'container' with meta data, download links and comments etc. I am looking for a direct link to the media. Is this possible with Dropbox? Thanks
To add some more information:
I created a link of an image and got something that looked like:
www.dropbox.com/s/8um0tttqgbjq5c7/my_image.jpg
But after downloading the image to my desktop, the actual link to the image file looked like:https://uc16303a726d517a4932231f53ee.dl.dropboxusercontent.com/cd/0/get/AjqdFl9BQdUPdRx5SUC83nDAmmblEed32xSG8mQqZdZzmQuzzl7tylLUExaBUG6blzESKf-QpaTZRsaL8SP-TLfY5ocst4aL5pbQQF8nAA3A/file
This form of URL works with the API in question. So my question is...is there a way to generate this URL?
