how to get height and width of an image from the api

I want to display an image stored on dropbox on my webpage. I am using the Javascript SDK. I get a shared link via

sharingCreateSharedLinkWithSettings and the image displays, but I want to specify the height and width in my img tag, and am missing that information.  I tried filesGetMetadata but it does not return what I need. I see that there is a method filesDownload. When I use this I see a filesBinary proprerty on the response, but am not sure how to use this (if indeed I should).

 

Thanks for your help,

    The answer is to use include_media_info: true  as an option to files/get_metadata
