Getting example images - https://picsum.photos

Hi,

This is a cool service: https://picsum.photos - it gives you example images (pictures/photos).

Here is how you can use this from a standard Pharo image (no pun intended).

ZnEasy getJpeg: 'https://picsum.photos/512'.

ImageReadWriter formFromStream: (ZnClient new
systemPolicy;
url: 'https://picsum.photos/640/480?grayscale';
accept: ZnMimeType imagePng;
get) readStream.

I remember Paul de Bruicker (cc'ed) used a similar service to get user
profiles (with first and last name and pictures, so you can "simulate"
users in your app, and you could ask for male or female profiles).

I don't remember the name, hopefully he will :)

Pretty cool!

This is how you get a Pharo image working, with pun intended ;-):

Re: Getting example images - https://picsum.photos

Perfect, I should have looked at the list of available images ... great catch.

https://uinames.com/

The api is a GET e.g.

https://uinames.com/api?region=germany&gender=female

& returns JSON with image url and plausible name among other things.

Re: Getting example images - https://picsum.photos

Ah, also quite interesting.

With the latest Zn loaded:

Metacello new
repository: 'github://svenvc/zinc/repository';
baseline: 'ZincHTTPComponents';
load.

You can do:

ZnClient new
systemPolicy;
forJsonREST;
url: 'https://uinames.com/api';
queryAt: #region put: #germany;
queryAt: #gender put: #female;
get.

>>> a Dictionary('gender'->'female' 'name'->'Fabienne' 'region'->'Germany' 'surname'->'Schuster' )

Re: Getting example images - https://picsum.photos

I forgot the "ext" query parameter which gives the image urls

so

ZnClient new
systemPolicy;
forJsonREST;
url: 'https://uinames.com/api';
queryAt: #region put: #germany;
queryAt: #gender put: #female;
queryAt:#ext put: nil;
get.

Picsum is listed here <https://github.com/toddmotto/public-apis> along
with a number of other public APIs. Maybe this overview list is
interesting for one or the other.

Re: Getting example images - https://picsum.photos

This makes me remember when I was working doing android mobile apps: there is a kitten placeholder service too.

https://placekitten.com/

And status codes too

https://http.cat/

ZnEasy getJpeg: 'https://placekitten.com/200/300'.
