How to get images(randomly for specific status) displayed on 'card view' from 'images library' in SharePoint 2013, using REST API in SharePoint Designer 2013?

I've created a column(hyperlink/picture) in a list and uploaded the hyperlink in it and trying to get the image using REST API, but it doesn't seem to be working.

Is my approach right? or kindly suggest me an alternative way!!

Am new in using SharePoint designer.

  • generally, 'select=*' means to select all, right? But in this case, after selecting all the columns, what is the query after comma? Please explain, since am new to SharePoint & REST Api

You need to exclude samplelogo from expand part. This looks like a limitation of SharePoint REST API for hyperlink column.

Or

If you need just URL link from samplelogo column(without other fields values) - just use this call - /_api/web/lists/getbytitle('Projects')/items?$select=samplelogo

These links might be helpfull for you:

  • Thanks Raf, the links you provided were useful.The REST call worked after I removed 'samplelogo' from the expand part.Now, my concern is to get the picture displayed on a page instead of hyperlink. Is this possible using REST call?

  • Sorry, your question is not clear for me. If I understand correctly - You need to display image instead of just hyperlink? If yes - You can save hyperlink that was received by REST as workflow variable and then use this variable to set source of the picture.
