Google Docs Thumbnails link missing on upload without conversion

I have been using the Gdocs API to upload images without conversion. In the response, I used to see a thumbnail entry under feed.entry.link[x]. This appears to be missing since 2 days ago. Does anyone know if a change has been made to the API? Is there an alternate method of getting the thumbnail URL of an uploaded file?

Thanks! Roderick Forsythe

Solution

  • I'm not aware of any change to the API, the thumbnail should still be available as the link with rel="http://schemas.google.com/docs/2007/thumbnail".

    Can you show us your request and the response which doesn't include the thumbnail link?

    EDIT: It takes a short amount of time before the thumbnail gets generated and you might not get it in the response of the creation request. It will show up if you GET the resource after you create it.
