I need the height and width from the image I upload to Cloudinary. This comment seems to suggest it is possible [Pixel information](http://community.thunkable.com/t/pixel-information/76049/16):  
Is this possible with the mediaDB component? or do I need a separate Web API to call Cloudinary? I tried with the Web API but couldn’t get it to work with Cloudinary.

It need a separate Web API to call Cloudinary. See [https://cloudinary.com/documentation/admin\_api](https://cloudinary.com/documentation/admin_api)

To access the API using the Get method, you need to create a header with the Authorization parameter and specify a login:password string for it, encoded in base64 format
