Then, in another terminal window, we use curl to hit the endpoint:
If you are on Firefox, you can install the UserAgent-Switcher and set it to Chrome. The UI might be a bit much if not familiar yet, so let me explain it briefly. Click the app and then select from the top drop down menus Chrome and Windows. Then pick one of the Chrome versions listed numerically, e.g. Chrome 118.0.0.0. Next at the bottom right of the add-on menu, click Apply (container) and then refresh the tab. Here's a link: https://github.com/ray-lothian/UserAgent-Switcher/
So back to the original problem, how do we make the final image available for search bots? We can only be explicit on the server platform as to which user agents get to see the original image. Let's start with a method that returns true for a list of bots we think we want to target. (Here is a thorough list I found on the web, funny enough I can't find twitter bot there, can you?)
Use the following extension and set a Windows user agent: https://github.com/tarampampam/random-user-agent
