Any way to download the user photos that the thumbnailPhotoUrl attribute links to in Print Users?

[Nate Ferrell]

Hey guys,

I'm trying to download all of our Org's user profile photos to convert them to Base64 for our Employee Directory... I can pull the URL to the thumbnail, but I'm not able to download some of the photos due to receiving a 403 Forbidden response. I know it's due to how I'm downloading them currently (Invoke-WebRequest "<url>" in Powershell) and the fact that the session does not have myself logged in, as I can replicate it when pulling up the URL in browser in my normal logged in session but it gets a 403 when going from incognito mode.

Any way to just use GAM to download those photos, or does anyone know what credentials would be needed to pull those using my method (assuming ASP + email maybe?)?

Thanks a MILLION in advance!

If possible, any way to return the values advised by the Users.photos portion in Directory API would be perfect, since I really just need the base64 and don't need the actual jpg file:

Nate,

gam user f...@domain.com get photo

will download foo's photo into your current working directory as f...@domain.com.jpg

You could say: gam all users get photo

For parallelism, say: gam print users | gam csv - gam user ~primaryEmail get photo

Considering the User.Photos API does return the Base64 for the photo though, would there be any GAM call currently that returns that info? That would save from the whole downloading of the photo portion if possible! I have the API calls down already, but dealing with the Refresh tokens isn't something that I can automate as faithfully as I can with GAM at the moment

Thank you for your time,

The APIs actually return web-safe base64 which is not the same thing. It's relatively painless to base74 encode a file via PowerShell. A quick search turns up:

yup yup, I have the conversion from Web Safe to normal Base64 working for that API call great, but maintaining a working token has been a pain for some reason and GAM has always been rock solid for automation tasks

In the command that Ross provided, I can see the Web Safe Base64 being kicked back in the text response. If there was a way to kick back just that and negate the jpg download, that'd be sweeeeeet

Hello, I tried this and it worked great; is there a way to download a higher resolution photo? I need it to print IDs for our school
