Backdrop image

Image used as the backdrop of a user’s profile page

Currently the only way to set the backdrop image is by issuing a POST against the backdrop-image resource with a post body that contains a URL. A placeholder image will be created for the uploaded image and the real image is downloaded in the background. An image will have its status attribute set to downloading until downloading completes. Clients interested in knowing when the image download has completed should poll the backdrop-image resource and wait until the status attribute changes.

See image to find out which fields are returned when issuing a GET against this resource.
