Get Thumbnail Url

[Paidi28]

Hey guys, in the old API Task had the Task.getThumbnail() function returning a url for the thumbnail. Is there anything equivalent or similar to this in the new API where I can get a url for the thumbnail ?

I'm having trouble finding a solution to this as well.  Any updates?

Thank you for raising this again, we haven't got it yet but I will make sure we have a ticket to add a documented method of getting it.

Meanwhile you have to resort to some nasty hacking. Given a task with a thumbnail url that you want to use:

# Get the server location where our thumbnail exists.
server_location = s.query('Location where name is "ftrack.server"').one()

# Get the download URL to the thumbnail image.
download_url = server_location.get_url(task['thumbnail'])

# Change url from download to getting the image as a thumbnail,
# and scale the thumbnail to fit within in 100X100 pixels.
thumbnail_url = download_url.replace('/get', '/thumbnail') + '&size=100'

# The thumbnail_url can now be used to get the image. It contains your
# api key credentials necessary to get the thumbnail.

It works, thanks!

Has a "not so hacky" way of doing this been implemented in the new api?

It hasn't been added yet, but it's still on the roadmap.
