Resize an image retrieved from Google Drive using API

Question

I am using the following Python code to get a file from Google Drive:

theGoogleDriveFile = service.files().get(fileId=<googleDriveFileId>).execute()

How would I go about resizing this file if it is an image? I have tried the following:

resizedImage = images.resize(theGoogleDriveFile['downloadUrl'], 32, 32)

But I get the following error:

raise NotImageError()
NotImageError

Answer 1

This works:

theGoogleDriveFile = service.files().get(fileId=<googleDriveFileId>).execute()
result = urlfetch.fetch(theGoogleDriveFile['webContentLink'])                
resizedImage = images.resize(result.content, 32, 32)
