Question: How to download your original pictures.

flyingdutchie

When I'm using the API with a valid session that identifies me as the owner of an Image, how would I download the original image?

Currently, I use a URL (with a cookie associated to it) that, for example, ends in xxxx-O.jpg. This works fine, unless my gallery/album does not allow for originals to be downloaded.

Even though my session-id identifies me as the owner of the Image, why isn't it possible to download the original version?

Or is there a way to make this happen (short of changing my gallery settings, since that would open it up for everybody).

Thanks!

Anton,

The original url is different for galleries that have originals disabled, calling smugmug.images.getInfo or smugmug.images.getURLs as the image owner will return the correct url.

Cheers,

David

Thanks David,

The URL for the original (and you are the owner of the Image) is not the one ending in "-O.jpg". Its format is quite different (it seems it has the MD5-sum in the URL).

I tried it and it works!
Thanks!
