Hello, I'm using the OSSN API to get user details in the mobile App I am making.
This is the doc for getting user details: https://www.opensource-socialnetwork.org/webservices/view/3567/user-details
The sample URL of a cover photo: https://app.com/cover/billgates/d1c4824d67578bfe402327b9c29d3b9c.jpg
The problem is that the cover URL redirects you to the home page if you don't have the ossncache query param (i.e. ?ossncache=23acb070)
Is there a way to generate a ossn_cache to be used in a cover photo URL? Thanks!

Not sure if this'll help, but I'd debug the output of the API and check that each of the URLs in the output are correct.
If you disable caching on the site, do you see the same results?

Okay thanks. I'll inspect it. I'm testing in a test site

See my answer below. Right now i am not sure where it is being cached.

I think there's a cached URL. Is there a hack to fix this? Or will clearing cache fix this? Also I noticed: Do you have to be logged in to access a cover photo? I thought a guid and API key is fine.

It didn't need any cache key and you should be able to view sample URL of cover photo. Each time you upload cover the URL of cover changes itself.
So if without cache if it redirects you to home page then that means you have some cached URL, are you trying to test on localhost or production? Do you have any CDN enabled like cloudflare , Imperva?
Due to the many requests in the past for additonal features and components we have decided to develope a premium version. Features like Hashtags, Videos, Polls, Events, Stories, Link Preview, etc included in it.
