Hi, I’m using python. Given coordinates, I’d like to download the nearest image from Mapilarry. How do I do this? Thanks ---

Exactly the question I’m looking for an answer for. Surprised the document has nothing for it. ---

@LiamMacLean Here is a good way to get images in a bounding box, which you can adapt to do a distance search. We may have some new tools soon to make this even easier in Python.

@chrisbeddow I think that script only download the metadata, not the images itself. Perhaps we can download images using its id? ---

You can download tiles with image locations and ids as geoJSON from mly1\_public layer. This is how I have done it - [random-mapillary-stuff/mapillary\_v4\_downloader.py at master · taneljairus/random-mapillary-stuff · GitHub](https://github.com/taneljairus/random-mapillary-stuff/blob/master/mapillary_v4_downloader.py) ---

Hey @chrisbeddow – any plans to expose raw (unprocessed) URL to the owner for download? Seems this has been removed from the response when querying sequences from authenticated owner (only processed image links). ---

I noticed the option to download the raw copy has been removed from the UI too. ---

No explicit plan for this right now, but it’s good that you ask so I can mark this as a request. Can you remind me how exactly you use this? ---

Hey @chrisbeddow the use case would be backup. Sometimes I don’t have the photos locally available, and access to a Mapillary copy of the original is a nice to have for me. For me, it’s low priority (just something I noticed missing, really). ---

Hi all, I am new to the Mapillary API and have tested it´s capabilities in the recent days. With the JPG download script from @chrisbeddow I am experiencing that after some time(~20MB) the network breaks down and I cannot continue to download the street imagery. I have tested it from several locations (home, work, with and without VPN) and it is not possible to download a larger region with a hand full of tiles. The procedure fails already on the first tile (`Tile 14/4393/6051`). Do you have any clue why this is the case? Is there maybe a limit set for downloads? The script is getting stuck on line 50. I am thankful for any kind of help - thanks! ---

Hi again, I figured out that from time to time timeouts appear. I have changed the code so that timeouts and retries are considered for the thumbnail creation and -download. Now it works like a charm for hundreds of thousands of images. ---

Thanks for the feedback! If you share your code I can add the timeouts to the example probably. Glad you found it working. ---

Hi @chrisbeddow, thanks for your response! Please find the project here: [GitHub - tobesucht/mapillary\_downloader: The tool provides the option to download from Mapillary v4 all kind of vector data and street imagery for a given region](https://github.com/tobesucht/mapillary_downloader) The downloader has to be started via **app.py**. The connection-handling is defined in lines 25-29 and 37 in **mapillary\_processor.py** as well in line 37 in **image\_downloader.py**. I hope you like the solution. Cheers ---

In reply to your request for a option to download the raw - un compressed/processed images, I would also be very interested in such a feature to be re-implemented for backup and alternate processing. @chrisbeddow - any information on the state of the request would be welcome. ---

So it is not possible to save a image in a resolution that is higher than the 2048 thumb-nail ? And How would I be able to limit the image search to only include specific users or Organization\_id’s? Sample code would be very welcome ---

It is very evident to me that you are way more experienced in this, than me, this is why I reach out. I am on a learning journey here, and would really appreciate some help [Next page](https://forum.mapillary.com/t/download-mapilarry-images-with-api-v4/5215.md?page=2)
