I'm trying to implement own URL preview service and I thought the following strategy for figuring out more or less accurate preview image was enough:
look for og:image first
if no og:image was found look for link with rel="image_src" next
if nothing found, look for first image in a body with preferrable aspect ratio, larger than assumed size (eg. > 50x50).
But looks like there are sites which don't fall in any of these rules yet still having a nice preview generated by slack or facebook. 500px is one of them - any hint where following preview images comes from?
I have tried (about a dozen times now) to add promotional tiles to my extension's web store listing.
I am getting this one every single time:
"This small tile image has been rejected due to the following reasons:
Text is too small
Too much detail
Please review the guidelines, upload a new image and republish."
I thought for a while that it's about text, but at my last try it was even without a single character in there and it was still rejected. Also I think the text rule is not that enforced since every single one on the front page has it's name on the tile.
Here is the last one I tried (instantly rejected this time so most likely automatic?) https://i.imgur.com/B2Qh7qO.png
Another one I tried a few days ago: https://i.imgur.com/WMcmF3O.png
Any advice would be appreciated.
The Chrome Webstore Developer support got back to me with the response
"I've checked your item and your promotional image is now fixed"
So it seems like a bug somewhere in their system so if anyone else runs into this don't do what I did and spend months trying to tweak your promotional images over and over, just contact them..
EDIT: For some reason the Developer Support contact form is extremely hard to find. Here it is: https://support.google.com/chrome_webstore/contact/developer_support?hl=en
The follow up support emails came from these address: cws-developer-support#google.com and developer-support#google.com
I want to use the REST Google Photos API to download original photos or videos from Goolge Photos, and I found there is no way to achieve it with the "baseUrl".
I have checked the following pages, but there is not a definitive answer:
https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/112096115
https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/80149160
So if there is indeed a way to get the original photos and videos or if there will be one?
The addition of '=d' will not give you the original file! I tested it. The quality and resolution of the image seems to match the original one, but some information like exif metadata (geo location) is missing. As a result, the file size is also smaller than the original. This makes is not usable for backup synchronization where I want the original file.
Actually, I expect from google that they give me automated access to my own original data. It looks like that is currently not the case.
I'm afraid there are currently only two options how to get the original fotos:
Manual download on Google Fotos
Manual download via Google Takeout
Very disappointing!
So I just read through the issue tracker answers you provided, and I noticed that one reply was to add '=d'to the baseUrl.
So example: GET https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/lr/AGb3...HG2n=d
According to Microsoft ("Image Analysis" in https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Microsoft-SharePoint-Blog/Enrich-your-SharePoint-Content-with-Intelligence-and-Automation/ba-p/194174, from May 21, 2018), we should be able to search for text within images.
Is this working for you/anyone? If so, I would like to know what you had to do to get it to work.
I have a SharePoint modern team site with PNG images that contain clearly readable text...but search will not find anything. I have requested re-indexing.
I have had a Microsoft Support request (#10638094) open since June 27 with this question/issue, and no one--even after escalation--has been able to answer it.
Based on the article above, it appears that "MediaService" column(s) should be added to the library to support this; however, I can find no such columns in the environment (using PnP export to review).
Naomi Moneypenny and Kathrine Hammervold highlighted this functionality at Ignite 2017 (https://channel9.msdn.com/Events/Ignite/Microsoft-Ignite-Orlando-2017/BRK2181, about 27:00), but it doesn't seem to be available/working (at least not for me).
August 24: So, after research, digging yet further, I have an escalated support ticket at Microsoft (#10638094, unsolved) and there are conversations at https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Intelligent-Search-Discovery/Search-for-words-in-your-images-in-Office-365/ba-p/135703, https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Microsoft-SharePoint-Blog/Enrich-your-SharePoint-Content-with-Intelligence-and-Automation/bc-p/236625, and Does Office 365 image search work? If so, how?. I have yet to hear of this functionality working for anyone. I will keep digging, and I will certainly post if I hear anything. J
After some digging, from official it seems already released at the end of 2017. However there is no any related doc or official guide to this Text in image search function.
The 2 way i can think of perform text in image search.
Perform OCR yourself on the image before uploading the image and embed the text in image metadata.
Use support image type like IIRC and TIF that image are recognized.
In your case, you can upload the image and have another column that contains text and apply metadata to the image in a list/ library column.
OneDrive in another hand also has this function. For example, search for things like "cat" and it * should* pull up most pictures you have of cats. Its more likely using tag as label for the image instead of reading the picture it self.
Also, i believe OneNote has its index recognizable text and handwriting. Maybe this can point you to the right directions.
*Microsoft Azure's computer Vision offer service to recognized text in image. Maybe this can help.
"Is this working for you/anyone?" Yes, I responded to this post elsewhere and see it posted here, as well. Unfortunately, I cannot tell you HOW to get it to work or to verify that it is correctly configured. I can only suggest a test for you to see if it is working for you, as it works for me. I have not tested every way in which it could or should work. I have only discovered it working with PNGs I inserted into Wiki Pages in SharePoint Online. Those PNGs are generated using Snag-It to take Screen Captures and I do not see where Snag-It would be doing any OCR on the image to embed anything, etc. OCR is not even in the Snag-It help file, so I believe the PNG files are just simple PNGs. I insert them into the SharePoint Wiki page, which uploads them to the Site Assets library. And, when I search for a word in the image, the image is returned as a result - not the Wiki page. So, suggest you try a simple test of just inserting a PNG with text in it into a Wiki Page and give the index a bit of time to run to see if it works for you.
It seems like the functionality has matured recently. I have been testing it more thoroughly, and I have documented the results in my blog at http://www.collaboration-foundry.com/SharePointImageAnalysis.
Bottom line: It works for me in OneDrive and SharePoint (modern and classis), but I've only seen it work on the out-of-the-box Document content type--which limits custom solutions somewhat.
It's cool functionality when it works. Looking forward to seeing Microsoft build on this.

I am trying to fetch user photos from instagram api.
The url i am querying is:
https://api.instagram.com/v1/users/self/media/recent?access_token={access_token}
Note that i am only using access token and there's no need to register my app. I only want to get user photos. The thing is It returns original images and not the square ones. Why? All I want to do is to get all photos in the same size, but it returns original sizes.I tried standard_resolution and every solution I met but finally, There's more than I thought. Photos even have white lines which is disgusting to be shown on my website.
P.S. I want to get all photos ,all of them in the same sizes and without any white lines. Guys,i know instagram so often changes these kind of things,but maybe you've found the solution to my problem.
The Instagram url in standard resolution is always square:
https://scontent.cdninstagram.com/t51.2885-15/s640x640/sh0.08/e35/20759276_1125417337622604_960083034999095296_n.jpg
If you want to get the original image from this then use (changing url pattern):
https://scontent.cdninstagram.com/t51.2885-15/20759276_1125417337622604_960083034999095296_n.jpg
Some image which is not having 640 resolution than the standard resolution introduces white line.
in that case to get the original square image we need to go lower than 640x640
This is the url pattern for 320x320:
https://scontent.cdninstagram.com/t51.2885-15/s320x320/e35/20759276_1125417337622604_960083034999095296_n.jpg
