Hello,
Some months ago it was possible to get png-images directly from espacenet by e.g.
Code: Select all
https://worldwide.espacenet.com/3.2/rest-services/images/documents/EP/2279854/A1/formats/png/pages/1
and very easy to manage for display.
Now I get the message
Code: Select all
This request has been rejected due to the violation of Fair Use policy
It was very confortable and much more faster compared to the OPS-access of images, since there was no need to convert and save the original (usual) tiff-images.
Was this possibility "No fair use"?
Is there a chance, that this kind of image retrieval will be available (again) in future?
Thanks for your answer in advance.
Regards, Martien

Hi,
We don't allow any automated queries on Espacenet, this is why OPS exists in the first place. I will make sure though that we offer png format via OPS as well if that will make your processes easier. It will maybe take a bit, but when png format option is in OPS I will inform you via this thread.
Regards,
Vesna for OPS support
