Generate thumbnail URL using CORE SDK

I am accessing the images' URL via CORE SDK. But, now i want to generate thumbnails to show the images in a grid. And, accessing the actual image for the grid is causing glitches due to heavy loading of many images at the same time.
I want to generate thumbnail URLs of images stored using the CORE SDK. I don't want to store the thumbnails, avoiding the junk created on the device. I want to avoid Sync API as it does not fit with my needs.
For my requirements, please read this: https://www.dropboxforum.com/hc/communities/public/questions/202192709-Load-Images-stored-in-Dropbox-folders-

    Unfortunately the Dropbox API doesn't currently expose thumbnail links (as opposed to /thumbnails returning the thumbnail data itself) but I'll be sure to pass this along as a feature request.
