So, I am trying to figure out how to get URL to an image in Freebase database. I want an image of San Francisco. This is how I get the San Francisco topic:
https://www.googleapis.com/freebase/v1sandbox/topic/%2Fen%2Fsan_francisco?key=MY_API_KEY
The response contains images, for example:
{
text: "San Francisco Skyline",
lang: "en",
id: "/m/04j74yh",
creator: "/user/carmenmfenn1",
timestamp: "2008-09-01T13:37:22.000Z"
}
So I then call the GET API again to get the image:
https://www.googleapis.com/freebase/v1sandbox/topic/%2Fm%2F04j74yh?key=MY_API_KEY
This returns lots of information about the image such as media type, size etc. But I don't see any URL there. There are some IDs (blob id, mid). I am not sure how to proceed to get a URL to the image. Any ideas?
This is the full response:

It's kind of buried in the documentation since it doesn't have a section of its own, but is instead referenced from the Topic API documentation, but you can find the necessary info here
URLs are of the form:
https://usercontent.googleapis.com/freebase/v1/image/<image ID>
