Add thumbnail urls for iNaturalist #1389
Labels
💻 aspect: code
Concerns the software code in the repository
✨ goal: improvement
Improvement to an existing user-facing feature
🟨 priority: medium
Not blocking but should be addressed soon
🧱 stack: catalog
Related to the catalog and Airflow DAGs
Current Situation
The image store does not save thumbnail urls, so we aren't calculating them for iNaturalist photos, but we could.
Suggested Improvement
Once we decide where and how to store and use the thumbnail urls, let's add them.
f"https://inaturalist-open-data.s3.amazonaws.com/photos/{photo_id}/thumb.{extension}"
Benefit
My understanding is that the API (or the front end?) will still need to create our own thumbnails for consistency, but using a smaller file to do so, could improve performance.
