Get thumbnails of files from shared folders
Hi there,
I get list of files inside shared folder using "2/files/list_folder" with "shared_link" parameter and I am using response from "2/files/list_folder" into "2/files/get_thumbnail_v2"...
Hi Здравко
I am trying to display all thumbnails from shared folder in site and User can select particular thumbnail from list and I want to url of that selected thumbnail.
Now I will display Image by
echo '<img src="data:image/jpg;charset=utf8;base64,'.$data.' />';How can I get actual url of image Actual Image ?
😁 I'm not sure you understand, but you are trying to put image file binary content as a source URL of an image. I thought my post above was clear, but seems it's not enough. Think of your "$data" as a content of an image read from file available on your server (not as a URL to there). What will be the result? 🧐 🙂 You have to pass the image data as such not as a URL! There are many correct way this to be done. 😉 Only your imagination ability can restrict you. Of course, there are many wrong ways (like mixing URL and data).
Hope it's a bit more clear now.

I am able to display thumbnails, But Now I want to open actual image (not thumbnails) on click of particular thumbnail image.
Is there any api to get both thumbnail and actual image?

For actual image, you can select using shared link, temporary link, or image data (like the thumbnail). Shared link can be created with 2/sharing/create_shared_link_with_settings, temporary link with 2/files/get_temporary_link, and actual image data with 2/files/download. 😉 First 2 give URL, the last one - data! Don't mix them again. 😁
The choice is yours.
ADD: Actually there is alternative non supported way to get links URL to contained pictures in such a shared folder link. The work of such a hacking way is not guaranteed. Executing something like:
curl https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ns2y8e6lqyh5avz/AAAHX5tPck8CHwpcSKMwV7cba?dl=0 -H "User-Agent: Mozilla" | xmllint --html --xpath "/html/body/script[last()-1]" - | tr '\n' '\f' | sed 's/.*<script type="text\/javascript".*<!\[CDATA\[.*responseReceived("\(.*\)")});.*\]\]><\/script>.*/\1/' | tr '\f' '\n' | sed 's/\\"/"/g' | sed 's/\\\\/\\/g' | jq... will give you all available data for this shared link. You can filter further this information to get desired data. For example, you can get for every single photo on the shared link its thumbnail and full size picture link/URL using following:
curl https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ns2y8e6lqyh5avz/AAAHX5tPck8CHwpcSKMwV7cba?dl=0 -H "User-Agent: Mozilla" | xmllint --html --xpath "/html/body/script[last()-1]" - | tr '\n' '\f' | sed 's/.*<script type="text\/javascript".*<!\[CDATA\[.*responseReceived("\(.*\)")});.*\]\]><\/script>.*/\1/' | tr '\f' '\n' | sed 's/\\"/"/g' | sed 's/\\\\/\\/g' | jq '.entries[] | .thumbnail_url_tmpl, .preview.content.full_size_src'I believe you can "translate" the algorithm above to PHP. 🤫😜
