APPSHEET external image now using GetImageRemoteURL?

AppSheet AppSheet Q&A

{Example Link 1} : https://image.com/p/?id=123
{Example Link 2} : https://www.appsheet.com/image/getremoteimageurl?url=https://image.com/p/?id=123

hi there, i am using appsheet app for about 1 year, displaying direct link of image, {Example Link 1}

it was fine, until about 1 month ago, appsheet using getimageremoteurl, and embed this into image src {Example Link 2}

the result was, image did not displayed.
when i open {Example Link 1} directly from browser, it was fine,

but when i open {Example Link 2} directly from the browser, it says Unsupported image mime type.

i did not have the access into image server backend/coding, i am just their client

so my question is, can we just determine default image mime type of it, for example image/jpeg, so the image can shown again in my app?

thanks

I’m sorry to see that it’s been so long since you posted, especially since this was your first inquiry. Usually, people here are pretty good about responding but sometimes a perfectly reasonable inquiry like yours can slip through the cracks, so to speak.

I think this thread is related to your issue:

[Quick Tips (Easy) : Expression to construct URL to reach to your files](https://community.appsheet.com/t/quick-tips-easy-expression-to-construct-url-to-reach-to-your-files/40889) Tips & Tricks ?

Manually constructing URL to reach out to your file with expression is found painful, when we need to get the app id, table name etc statically, and push into the part of expression. Sometime decode/encode issue is throw the additional pains to us. To remove all those pains and concerns, this expression could be the most efficient and effective to construct the URL, most importantly automatically and dynamically.

Good luck!
