How to download thumbnail/image file

Harsh S.1

I am using the python requests library to request a particular thumbnail from my dropbox. My request receives a 200 response. However, how do i use this response object to actually display/save the thumbnail ? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

When you receive a 200 status code from this endpoint, it indicates that the API call was successful, and the body will contain the thumbnail data. Exactly how you display that is up to your app though. For example, you might save that raw data to a local file, etc.

Hi Gregory. Thanks for your prompt reply.

Let me rephrase my question a little. What property/method can i call on the response object that would give me the data i need to either save it as an image file or make it appear as a picture on my site.

The dropbox api explorer returns a button with a link to download the thumbnail. How do i get that link or download source programmatically ?

I think your question is just about how to use the requests library, so this probably isn't the best place to ask for help.

That said, here's a simple example of how to read the content from a URL using requests:

import requests
response = requests.get('http://www.example.com')
print(response.content)
