Retrieve image alt text via url

I need to retrieve the alt text for images but I cannot use any of the API's. I can only access images via the URL (this is a Webflow project and installation of the API is not possible).

How can that be done? Any help is appreciated.

Hey Astrid, thanks for reaching out!

Generally, you can use metadata values in text overlays using variables, for instance -
https://res.cloudinary.com/eyalkatzt/image/upload/$myvar_ctx:!alt!/l_text:arial_100:$(myvar),co_white/test_face_coordinates.jpg
Where $myvar is a variable that I assigned with the value of the "alt" metadata - $myvar_ctx:!alt!
Then I used this variable value in the text layer - l_text:arial_100:$(myvar)

Additional information can be found here.

Is that what you're looking for?

Cheers.
