How to get Exif data in json response on upload?

I'm uploading an image in an Express route and I get a json respsonse. Right now I only get the following response from Cloudinary when I upload a file:

"fieldname": "imageUrl",

"originalname": "IMG_1477.jpeg",

"encoding": "7bit",

"mimetype": "image/jpeg",

"path": "https://res.cloudinary.com/dt8b5pu9l/image/upload/v1652319149/movie-project/yqp13ntxaklzphbjiyhz.jpg",

"size": 952590,

"filename": "movie-project/yqp13ntxaklzphbjiyhz"

How can I get extra data from the file in the json response? Like some of the image metadata, in particular metadata relating to GPS and time taken and things like that. I want this data to be available to store in MongoDB along with the newly created filepath from Cloudinary.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

We don't display the EXIF information when using client-side listing but you can use server-side - Admin API list method (https://cloudinary.com/documentation/admin_api#get_the_details_of_a_single_resource) and pass `image_metadata=true` as the param and that will return the EXIF info.

Hope you find it useful!

Regards,

Wissam
