Get icon

The GET /files/icon operation can be used to get an image representation of a file.

Either id or externalId must be provided as a query parameter (but not both). Supported file formats:

  • Normal jpeg and png files are currently fully supported.
  • Other image file formats might work, but continued support for these are not guaranteed.
  • Currently only supporting thumbnails for image files. Attempts to get icon for unsupported files will result in status 400.
