Get direct URL to image?

[Francisco]

Hello there group!

I am developing an app using the webservice API.

Among other data, I need to fetch the images, for which I get URLs that require authentication.

Now, browser is blocking the requests including the API key in the URL (see attached image).

Wondering now: is there any way to get some URL to the same image that does not require authentication?

Thanks in advance for your time!

Cheers!

What kind of authentication is required?

Images should not have any authentication to them, they should be accessible in any browser

When getting the images of the product from the webservice, the URLs I am getting look like this:

http://35.183.101.48/api/images/products/15/23

When trying to load this URL from a different browser I get this credentials request:

 

That is why I included the credentials in the URL to be loaded by the browser in this fashion:

http://<API_KEY_HERE>@35.183.101.48/api/images/products/15/23

But when doing so, I am getting errors in the browser:

So, is there any way to get some URL to the same image that does not require authentication?

Thanks in advance for your time!

Cheers!

I haven't really worked with the API, but it looks like it's looking for both a user and a password.

If the site is functional, you should be able to compare a URL of an image and get it from the working site, but I would try to figure out the API.

Are you able to manually login by entering the credentials in the browser?

Hello Tomerg3,

Comparing won't help:

http://99.79.43.35/api/image/23

http://99.79.43.35/23-large_default/pack-mug-framed-poster.jpg

☝️There is a non predictable part in the URL.

Entering manually the credentials is not an option at the moment.

Is there a specific forum for the API usage where I can get further details on how to solve this?

Thanks for your support!

All images are accessible without a rewrite URL, they are in /img/p/productid/productid.jpg

You don't need to manually enter the credentials, you just need the correct user+password and use them in the URL as described in the error you saw http://USER:PASS@IPaddress

You need to authenticate your application every time you try to connect to Prestashop API. There is a sample code at https://github.com/PrestaShop/PrestaShop-webservice-lib/blob/master/PSWebServiceLibrary.php

I hope it helps
