      <title>Best Method for pulling images into webpage</title>
      <link>https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Dropbox-API-Support-Feedback/Best-Method-for-pulling-images-into-webpage/m-p/504883#M24976</link>
      <description>&lt;P&gt;Working in WordPress. I need to use the API to connect and loop thru and display images in a folder.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;How do I get the display-able image url? Everything I search tells me to use&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;PRE&gt;get_temporary_link&lt;/PRE&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;But when I go to the docs for that, it tells me I shouldn't be using this for my purpose, saying:&lt;BR /&gt;"This URL should not be used to display content directly in the browser. "&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;I'm using list_folder and succesfully pulling lots and lots of data about the images in the folder, I don't understand why the displayable url of the image is not included in the returned object. Seems that would be the perfect place to do it.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;What am I supposed to use then?&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;get_temporary_link&lt;/STRONG&gt; returns both a &lt;STRONG&gt;path_lower&lt;/STRONG&gt; and a &lt;STRONG&gt;link&lt;/STRONG&gt;. The former is a relative path in the Dropbox filesystem; the later is the link you're looking for.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;We do not recommend using get_temporary_link to render content. Temporary links do have &lt;A href="https://help.dropbox.com/files-folders/share/banned-links" target="_self"&gt;associated bandwidth quota&lt;/A&gt;; exceeding it may result in blocking it.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;The best way to pull in images for website display would be to&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-get_thumbnail" target="_self"&gt;generate thumbnails&lt;/A&gt;&amp;nbsp;with the API and cache the results.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
