Question

I am currently using the Yelp API for my project, and I need to get the image of a business to use as a background, displayed in a UIImageView. However, all the pictures are too small from the pictures obtained, so the background is blurry. I use this code to obtain the current business images:

[UIImage imageWithData:[NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL URLWithString:[businessDict objectForKey:@"image_url"]]]];

Is there anyway to obtain a larger image?

Was it helpful?

Solution

Replace the filename at the end of the image URL with o.jpg and you'll get up to 1000×1000 pixels. Other sizes are:

  • s.jpg: up to 40×40
  • ss.jpg: 40×40 square
  • m.jpg: up to 100×100
  • ms.jpg: 100×100 square
  • l.jpg: up to 600×400
  • ls.jpg: 250×250 square
  • o.jpg: up to 1000×1000
  • 348s.jpg: 348×348 square
