Web fetch
You can use the Web fetch source to retrieve resources that are accessible from an (optionally pre-signed) URL.
{
"type" : "Web",
"href" : "http://www.url.to/file/online.jpg"
}
You can use any URL. Make sure to take the filename from the Content-Disposition header if available, or make it up from the path. The href property specifies the URL to the resource.
The filename is retrieved automatically, based on the following rules, in order of execution:
-
If the URL refers to a filename, it uses that filename. Example:
http://www.gstatic.com/webp/gallery/5.jpgresults in5.jpg -
If there is a filename parameter in the URL, it uses the value in that file name. Example:
http://picsum.photos/400/300/?image=1&filename=test.jpegresults in test.jpeg -
If none of the above, it reverts to the hostname, top level domain, and a GUID (Globally Unique IDentifier). These concatenate automatically using _ (underscore). Example:
http://picsum.photos/400/300/?image=1results inpicsum_photos_814be. Note that there are no file extensions.
