Hi, this morning I noticed that address stored in small_ulr data in game entity is changed. Now we have a full address and it is okay, but the address is wrong.
I received addresses like this https://www.giantbomb.com/api/image/scale_small/817079-crash_time_logo.png but the correct URL of the image is
https://www.static.giantbomb.com/api/image/scale_small/817079-crash_time_logo.png. Are there changes in progress? Thanks in advance and good work!
Wrong URLS in json data
@insideep A change was made to return a path that would resize an image to the given size or pass the image through. The format of this image path is now:
http://www.giantbomb.com/api/image/<size>/<filename>
This has a side benefit of distributing the load across our CDNs. Previously, all the load was coming from one image server.
@frobie I noticed that I receive this string with https protocol but some images don't load. For example this: https://www.giantbomb.com/api/image/scale_small/2133340-box_ctr.png of the game with id 6196. I tried to load http://www.giantbomb.com/api/image/scale_small/2133340-box_ctr.png and it works. What's the problem? The server have to update itself entirely yet? Thanks in advance!
@frobie: If the query is made over https, it returns https image paths.
Example: https://www.giantbomb.com/api/game/3030-4725/?api_key=[api_key]&resources=game&field_list=image&limit=10
Hope that helps.
