How to get actual image of article when get query by categorys using news api.

Question

Hello,
I am adding originalImg=true parameter to the url. When doing a query search, it will return actual image.
value > image > contentUrl

For category query, it will not return full image.
Is there a way to get actual image size rather than getting thumbnail when querying with category?
category query: https://api.bing.microsoft.com/v7.0/news?mkt=en-us&category=sports

@AmbiTamber-2172 The category parameter along with the originalImg parameter will return the actual image and the thumbnail image URLs. Here is a sample output from my query.

Query:

https://api.bing.microsoft.com/v7.0/news/search?mkt=en-IN&q=Cricket&originalImg=true&category=Sports

Sample Output:

            "url": "https://www.indiatvnews.com/sports/cricket/india-vs-australia-2020-live-cricket-streaming-1st-test-match-when-where-how-to-watch-online-telecast-on-tv-sony-liv-sony-six-sony-ten-jio-tv-671971",
            "image": {
                "contentUrl": "https://resize.indiatvnews.com/en/resize/newbucket/715_-/2020/12/test-1-1608173319.jpg",

The issue in your query is the originalImg parameter is missing. Please try to use a similar query as mentioned above and you should see both the actual image and the thumbnail.
