Describe the Scenario

Hello,

I trying to consume the data from my bookstack using API requests. I already able to get the image URL, but I'm still struggling to get the image data.
My environment is using the local_secure option to store the images, and has the OIDC with Azure enabled.
This is even possible? Thanks!

Exact BookStack Version

Hi @renanredel,

I think you have found a hole in our API, I don't think you can access the image data directly right now (without complex parsing of export formats) with a secure image option active. The auth applied to image fetches does not use api auth.

To help with the implementation and options, What is the wider goal? Are you trying to re-create whole pages, with images, externally? Or just need the image data itself.
Also, within your current logic, what do you have to hand? The image ID, or the original image URL?

hi @ssddanbrown,

I'm trying to build a chatbot, that's have the knowledge from the bookstack. So, I need to retrieve all the content from the pages and use images for the context as well.
My logic uses the image URL after getting the page content (using the export by markdown). But I can change it if needed (I'm not in production yet).
By now, I can switch back to "local" in the file upload settings, I think the migrating way is just to copy back the content to the public folder, right?
