"Error getting photo dimensions" when posting

Photoblogging
1

I’m trying to post an entry to my micro.blog with a photo from a URL (this is generated by Google Apps Script; the location coordinates are fuzzed by Foursquare intentionally):

{
    "type": [
        "h-entry"
    ],
    "published": [
        "2024-10-01T20:55:08.000Z"
    ],
    "properties": {
        "checkin": [
            {
                "type": [
                    "h-card"
                ],
                "properties": {
                    "name": [
                        "Steven Buehler's Apartment"
                    ],
                    "url": [
                        "https://foursquare.com/v/65949b558dc8ae0ff3d196fa"
                    ],
                    "latitude": [
                        28.35522101686996
                    ],
                    "longitude": [
                        -81.68568083681541
                    ]
                }
            }
        ],
        "photo": [
            {
                "url": "https://drive.google.com/uc?id=[hidden for security]&export=download"
            }
        ]
    }
}

when submitting to the API I get the following error:

{
    "error": "invalid_request",
    "error_description": "Error getting photo dimensions."
}

I don’t think Google Drive links actually resolve to a photo file versus an HTML viewer page, so I don’t think those would work.

It does when using the “download” at the end. Having the same issue with Wolfram Cloud’s direct links as well. Ended up just uploading to micro.blog first.

No, the download at the end still hits a webpage with javascipt to run and get the file, which is not the same thing.
