Hello, 

I'm a developer at WorldWatch (worldwatch.uk

And we make use of the current relief web API in our 'disasters' page.
We are however, considering the possibility of a "daily report" section which will show, and notify, as reports come out for the current day. 

In order to meet the goal of this experience we had in mind, we were hopeful relief web had some type of way to programmatically retrieve the direct report pdf download links and the preview image source, within the API. 

Is this currently possible? Or a future possibility? 
Or should we look into potential other means to gather relevant preview images etc. for these reports we plan to implement 

Thanks, rias

Hello Rias,

The "file" property of a report contains the link to the file and its preview image when available.


```
       "file": [          {            "id": "2696518",            "url": "https://reliefweb.int/attachments/957033f6-8f9e-4c87-bb2d-6b08619a7b35/OCHA_AA%20Guidance_FLOODS_2025.pdf",            "filename": "OCHA_AA Guidance_FLOODS_2025.pdf",            "filehash": "fdcca193506f03e2d0ac3208348734385d1adeeeb3eb866ed8a6d4d925f1a008",            "mimetype": "application/pdf",            "filesize": "568350",            "preview": {              "url": "https://reliefweb.int/sites/default/files/previews/95/70/957033f6-8f9e-4c87-bb2d-6b08619a7b35.png",              "url-large": "https://reliefweb.int/sites/default/files/styles/large/public/previews/95/70/957033f6-8f9e-4c87-bb2d-6b08619a7b35.png",              "url-small": "https://reliefweb.int/sites/default/files/styles/small/public/previews/95/70/957033f6-8f9e-4c87-bb2d-6b08619a7b35.png",              "url-thumb": "https://reliefweb.int/sites/default/files/styles/thumbnail/public/previews/95/70/957033f6-8f9e-4c87-bb2d-6b08619a7b35.png",              "version": "2696518-1-0"            }          }        ],
