Getting multiple thumbnails of multiple files at once ?

Is it possible to retrieve multiple thumbnails of multiple files at once ? I tried to make a request to https://photos.dropbox.com/thumbnails_batch just like the guide from https://blogs.dropbox.com/...
API

That isn't part of the public Dropbox API, which doesn't currently offer a bulk thumbnails call, but I'll be sure to pass this along as a feature request.

    Hi Greg,

    Thanks for the quick response, I am aware that https://photos.dropbox.com/thumbnails_batch is not a public Dropbox API endpoint but is there a way or any public API end point to get multiple thumbnails at once ?

    Thanks,

      No, the Dropbox API doesn't currently offer a way to get thumbnails in bulk.
