Entities

Get person photo

Changed on

Returns the profile photo bytes for a person whose photo is stored in Glean (crawled from an identity source or user-uploaded via admin console). Photos hosted externally (e.g. Slack CDN) are not served by this endpoint; callers should follow the photoUrl from /people or /listentities directly. Responses include a Cache-Control header (max-age=3600) to reduce redundant fetches.
