How use /get_thumbails response
Hi, I'm trying to figure out how I should use the response of the /get_thumbnail call. What I'm actually receiving are some raw data like the following: �����JFIF���������C�...
I'm trying the solution below but I'm not be able to display the image, could you please add a js example?
// data represents the response of the /get_thumbnail
var imgsrc='data:image/jpeg;base64,' + btoa(escape(data)); var img = new Image(100, 100); // width, height values are optional params img.src=imgsrc; document.body.appendChild(img);

Hi mattia o., it looks like there are some examples of doing this here:

I recommend looking into using the official Dropbox API v2 JavaScript SDK though, as it may make this easier. For example, you could probably then do something like:
dbx.filesGetThumbnail({"path": "/test.jpg"})
.then(function(response) {
var img = document.createElement('img');
img.src=window.URL.createObjectURL(response.fileBlob);
document.body.appendChild(img);
})
.catch(function(error) {
console.log("got error:");
console.log(error);
