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/tech/2014/01/retrieving-thumbnails/ but it doesnt' work and I'm not sure if I did it wrong or this end point is no longer supported.
I tried to make a get request to https://photos.dropbox.com/thumbnails_batch?paths= /path/to/thumb0.jpg,/path/to/thumb1.jpg,[...],/path/to/thumbN.jpg but it showed 4xx error. Please advice if I missed anthing from this request.
Thank you
The Content-Type header is reported differently (image/ in v1, and application/octet-stream in v2) but the actual thumbnail data returned is the same. Is the Content-Type header itself causing issues in your use case? I'll be happy to pass this along as feedback, but additional context would be helpful
Anyway, no, there isn't another way for getting temporary links or thumbnails like you describe that I can offer.
Oh this is a great news, thanks Greg for the update.
