Thumbnail images return a 403 Forbidden when used in <img> tag on Chrome and Safari

jeancpdamke

Hello, I have an application that fetches a list of documents, elements and parts from onshape, and uses the thumbnail URLs from the list to render an <img> tag inside of it.

This is causing the images to throw a 403 error on Chrome and Safari, although they are working on Firefox. If, on the other hand, I copy the url I have and paste it in a new tab in any browser, it works fine.

Has anybody experienced something similar, and knows how to fix it?

Best regards,
Jean Damke

Did you try API support at api-support@onshape.com?

403 is file not found. What's confusing me is an image from OS isn't a file it's just data. When I get an image from onshape, I'm using rest and I don't have access to the hard drive. I just render it to my page. It's never a file. Make sure you base64 the data as the internet can't handle the character set an image uses. To render the image, I use a data attribute.

<img src="data:image/jpeg;base64,/9j/4AAQSkZJRgABA.....

Are you trying to save an image from OS to your hard drive? To do that you'll have to set up a whole different transport.
