Process facebook messenger url image

Question

I'm trying to process this image provided by messenger-platform API (send-api-reference)

I used: url = "https://scontent-lht6-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t34.0-12/20916840_10214193209010537_198030613_n.jpg?_nc_ad=z-m&oh=3eab9a3a400c7e05fb5b74c391852426&oe=5998B9A8"

@app.route('/photobot/<path:photo_url>')
def tensor_photobot(photo_url):
  file = cStringIO.StringIO(urllib.urlopen(photo_url).read())
  img = Image.open(file)

  if img:
    list_elements = process_image(img)
    return json.dumps(list_elements)

But the image is not recognized. Any idea?

Message:

{u'mid': u'mid.$cAAbv-uhIfdVkIn9OVld8TqA6u2Hz', u'seq': 40125, u'attachments': [{u'type': u'image', u'payload': {u'url': u'https://scontent-lht6-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t34.0-12/20916840_10214193209010537_198030613_n.jpg?_nc_ad=z-m&oh=3eab9a3a400c7e05fb5b74c391852426&oe=5998B9A8'}}]}

Edit: following comment recommendations, I detected the problem is from url-string truncation.

I added all the implementation for more context.

Answer 1

From my comment in case the answer is needed by anyone in the future:

The query string is being truncated from the URL. To load the image, the entire URL including the query string is required.
