Page summary API: Find a sane way to allow clients to select a page image thumb size
Closed, DuplicatePublic

Description

When we hydrate the feed with the contents of the item summaries, we need to make the thumbnail of the article of the day bigger, because if we don't do that the quality is too bad in the feed on Android and iOS app. Right now we do it with a daily hacky transformation in RESTBase basically re-requesting the new thumbnail from the MW API.

Can we do better as we switch to the new summary endpoint? This task is created to bike shed our options on how to remove that tacky code from RESTBase.

@Pchelolo, T66214 should help a lot with this issue. Last I heard @Tgr planned tackling that in the medium term (Q1 / Q2?).
