Getting images #245

Open StephenDarcy opened 2 years ago

StephenDarcy commented 2 years ago

Is it possible to retrieve images? Sorry if I missed it in the docs

cboettig commented 1 year ago

good question. there is:

pic <- fb_tbl("picturesmain")

not sure that it embeds any pictures, though there is a URL link column from which you can extract pictures. Maybe in one of the other tables? Navigating the database is a bit tricky as these details are not documented.
