Form Multimedia API

Users

I'm using the commcare export tool to build a database of all my form
submissions. One of my new forms has a signature capture field. Is there a
way to use the export tool to retrieve the signature .jpg file? Or is there
another API I can use? The only way I have found so far is to use the
CommCare HQ site and download the multimedia for the form on the Data ->
Export Forms page. Thanks.

Hey,

The export tool does not currently support this, but there is an
(undocumented) API you can use to download multimedia zips of individual
form types. You can read about that on the prior thread here

Hi Cory,

Thanks for your response. I am able to create a url that works when pasted
in the browser. However, when using curl or wget, all I am able to retrieve
is html of a page, rather than the jpeg files. I've been able to use curl
with the form API, so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Any ideas?

curl -u -X GET

Hey Jared,

I think we may need to update this view to support different methods of
authentication. We'll make a patch and it should be released shortly.
