API call for user's Photo (highres_link)

[George Villasboas]

Hi!

I'm trying to access the high resolution photo of the user's profile.

Reading the documentation I can see that it returns a 'highres_link' field with the URL so I can retrieve it.

But that's not what is happening.

• "photo": {
  • "photo_link": "http://photos3.meetupstatic.com/photos/member/e/4/9/a/member_XXXXX.jpeg",
  • "thumb_link": "http://photos1.meetupstatic.com/photos/member/e/4/9/a/thumb_XXXXXX.jpeg",
  • "photo_id": XXXXX
  },

Is this a bug or I'm missing something?

Best.

George.

Hello George,

What API resource are you requesting? I just tested GETs against /2/member/:id, for 'self' as well as a random member id, and I got back a high res link. If you can share more details we'll figure out what's going on - just be sure not to post your api key!

hi George,

Usually you should get a highres_link included in each photo JSON
object. But sometimes a photo will be uploaded at low resolution; in
such cases there will be no highres_link, and you should fall back to
the photo_link.

cheers,
mlc

Thanks guys.

The problem is on what Mike just commented. The user uploaded a low res image.

Seems like all my tests were done on these kind of users.

But I was able to retrieve some highres testing with a bigger number of members.

Thanks a lot and take care!

Best.

George.
