New image params

[Luke 42077]

These are optional image params that are being added to limit the size of the api data being returned.

 

• EnableImages (true/false). Defaults to true. Easy way to disable all images.
• ImageTypeLimit (int). Defaults to no limit. Limits the number of images per type that are returned. In most cases, only one is needed
• EnableImageTypes = comma delimited list of image types to return. Defaults to all images. Example: EnableImageTypes=primary,logo,thumb

You can go ahead and include these params on any endpoint that returns lists of items, although it will take time to get them all added.

This is going to help a lot.  Thanks!

Yes you can see a big benefit just with ImageTypeLimit=1 alone. that will limit to 1 backdrop. 

 

If you want you can then further improve using EnableImageTypes to only include image types you actually use

What I am doing is building a list of images in the background using the full call.  This refreshes every so often, but this way when the user browses around the JSON data is smaller - giving the double benefit of smaller data transfer and less dictionary look-ups.
