Hi all, I am wondering if anyone is able to help me out on this one. With old box api (Crocodoc) we were able to get thumbnail representations for every page of the uploaded pdf document (or doc document..)
Now I just can't find it anywhere. I am coming to this issue for the third time 🙂
Is it possible with Box at all?
Thanks in advance!

Question
Cannot get thumbnails for each page in pdf
Hi ,
Yes, you sure can. I believe the best option for what you're describing will be the thumbnail representations API. I also have this writeup on using the representations APIs that might be helpful.

Hi, thanks for the reply. I did go through the documentaion before and now again but the only thing I get for the thumbnail representation for the document is this kind of url which can't be resolved, resource not found:
https://public.boxcloud.com/api/2.0/internal_files/517440829614/versions/547961454414/representations/png_paged_1024x1024/content/
I can get thumbnail easily for any type of document, but one thumbnail, I don't see how to access specific thumbnails per specific document pages...
Hi again,
Thank you and sorry for wasting your time. I can't believe I completely overlooked whole section of the documentation. I read Single-page images representations as something else and skipped it every time. Sor
Hi ,
No need to apologize at all, I'm happy to help, and that section of the docs is rather difficult to find. We're actively working on new versions of the docs over at box.dev to make it easier to find items like this.
Good luck with your project!
