How to find thumbnail URLs in ArcGIS Online Part 1

Stop searching! Here’s the easiest way to find your thumbnail URL for items in ArcGIS Online.

In this video, I walk you through how to locate the thumbnail image for ArcGIS Online items and extract a clean, shareable URL you can use in ArcGIS apps.

Your final URL will follow this format:

https://www.arcgis.com/sharing/rest/content/items/INSERT_ITEM_ID/info/thumbnail/thumbnail.png

Just replace INSERT_ITEM_ID with your own item ID.

Look out for Part 2 of this video where you actually use the URL in other apps.
