DOMAIN: The URL for your domain—for example,
example.com.
PHOTO_LINK: A unique numerical value that
represents the photo link for the shared contact—for example, c9012de.
The server returns an HTTP200 OKstatus code and the photo. If a
contact doesn't have a photo, then the photo link element doesn't have agd:etagattribute. Thegd:etagelement lets you refer to a specific
version of a photo.
For example, to get the latest version of a photo for a contact with the
following element:
[[["Easy to understand","easyToUnderstand","thumb-up"],["Solved my problem","solvedMyProblem","thumb-up"],["Other","otherUp","thumb-up"]],[["Missing the information I need","missingTheInformationINeed","thumb-down"],["Too complicated / too many steps","tooComplicatedTooManySteps","thumb-down"],["Out of date","outOfDate","thumb-down"],["Samples / code issue","samplesCodeIssue","thumb-down"],["Other","otherDown","thumb-down"]],["Last updated 2025-08-28 UTC."],[],[],null,["# Get a photo for a shared contact\n\n- To get a photo for a contact, send an HTTP `GET` request to the\n photo link of the contact:\n\n ```xml\n GET https://google.com/m8/feeds/photos/media/DOMAIN/PHOTO_LINK\n ```\n\n Replace the following:\n - \u003cvar translate=\"no\"\u003eDOMAIN\u003c/var\u003e: The URL for your domain---for example, example.com.\n - \u003cvar translate=\"no\"\u003ePHOTO_LINK\u003c/var\u003e: A unique numerical value that represents the photo link for the shared contact---for example, c9012de.\n\n The server returns an HTTP `200 OK` status code and the photo.
