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/...

Dropbox Community ModeratorThat 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,

- Greg-DBNo, the Dropbox API doesn't currently offer a way to get thumbnails in bulk.
- Ah ok, thanks Greg for the info.
- Hi Greg,
I'm trying to get a thumbnail for an image in my account and make a POST request to https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/files/get_thumbnail, and it successfully returned with a status 200, which is good. But from the json response, I do not see any link or url to this thumbnail. Also, regardless what size or format option I put in, the returned data is always showing that the thumbnail is the same size and the format is always the original format when uploaded.
For instance, I uploaded a .jpeg or jpg image. Is it possible to retrieve a .png thumbnail and the size other than the original uploaded size ? And where do I find the link/url for this thumbnail from the response. Please advice.
Thank you
