iTwins
Download API definition:
GET https://qa-api.bentley.com/itwins/{iTwinId}/image

Gets the image metadata for the specified iTwin.

The metadata will contain the name of the image and a URL for downloading the image. The name of the image is unique and will only change if the image changes. It can be used as a long term cache key to determine if you have already downloaded the image. The URLs will be valid for a minimum of 1 hour.

This API is used to get a link to the small image and the original uploaded image. To make it easier to use the small image as a thumbnail, the small image link is also included as a property on every iTwin.
