如何从公共 url 获取原始图像？

Question

I was trying to host an image with Google Drive API in node.

await drive.files.create({
  requestBody: {
    role: "render",
    type: "anyone",
  },
});

const response = await drive.files.get({
  fileId: "...",
  fields: "webViewLink, webContentLink",
});

console.log(response.data);

I was getting a public link to the image which I can open inside Google Drive or download to be able to view it manually.

{
  webContentLink: 'https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1dffGf_4R5W75xKGhx7n-nXsZPFA7NE1a&export=download',
  webViewLink: 'https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dffGf_4R5W75xKGhx7n-nXsZPFA7NE1a/view?usp=drivesdk' 
}

But this is not what I want.

I want the public images to be in raw format (jpg, png, etc.) and should be able to be viewed normally like a website in the browser.

I hope I've explained it enough, any help is really appreciated:)

Answer 1

I just found that instead of this...

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-x3h_1lYrBat7K43LaiTlS9FqQttbbFW/view?usp=sharing

I could pass pass thumbnail followed by the file id like this...

https://drive.google.com/thumbnail?id=1-x3h_1lYrBat7K43LaiTlS9FqQttbbFW

This works well and could be embedded into the src attribute of the img tag... ( source ).
