Hi there,

 

I'm trying to get an image metadata using the its publicId, but I can't find a way to do so using the `cloudinary-core`. Seems to be able to do it in all languages but js.

Am I missing something?

 

Thanks

  Hi Maxime,

   

  Please try this code and let me know if it helps you (Node) :

   

  cloudinary.uploader.explicit("{public_id}", {type:"upload", 
     image_metadata:"true"}, function(err,data){
  
   if (err) { 
  
    console.log(err)
  
  } else {
  
    console.log(data)
  
  }
  
  });

  Hi Yakir, thanks for the answer.

  I've tried that already but it's throwing me `cannot read property 'explicit' of undefined`.

  Do I need to import something else than `cloudinary-core`?

  Hey,

  I'm using something like this:

   

    componentDidMount() {
      const cl = new cloudinary.Cloudinary({
        cloud_name: cloudinaryCloudName,
      });
  
      const { name } = this.props;
  
      cl.uploader.explicit(name, { type: 'upload', image_metadata: 'true' }, function(err, data){
        console.log(err);
        console.log(data);
      });
    }

  Hi Maxime, 

   

  I'm very sorry for my late response.

   

  Please try to use this code:

   

  var cloudinary = require('cloudinary').v2;
  
  cloudinary.config({
  cloud_name: '<cloud>'
  ,api_key: '<api_key>'
  ,api_secret: '<api_secret>
  });
  
  cloudinary.uploader.explicit(name, 
  { 
  type: 'upload', 
    image_metadata: 'true' 
  }, function(err, data) { 
     console.log(err);    
     console.log(data); 
  });

  Hi
  
  I am using this function on my node server.
  
  async function retrieveImages(prefix) {
  let results = await cloudinary.v2.api.resources({
    type: "upload",
    prefix: prefix,
    tags: true,
    max_results: 500,
    context: true,
    image_metadata: true,
    imageMetadata: true});
  return results.resources.map(processResource);
  }
  
  How can I tell it also retrieve meta day .

  Hi Daniel,

  `image_metadata` should return the metadata in the response. You don't need to pass both imageMetadata and image_metadata. What are you seeing in the response?

  If you continue seeing the issue then can you please open a support ticket here: https://support.cloudinary.com/hc/en-us/requests/new and share the cloud name and value of the params you are passing and we will be able to debug better.

  Thanks,

  Aditi
