Hi Gergo,

I forgot an important aspect which is that at this point, we're only
concerned about JPG and PNG formats, which I suppose should be fairly
uncomplex.

That's a neat idea - I didn't know that the API took multiple file
names in one query. If we could do 500 files per request, 10-12 per
minute, that's a more than adequate - but it feels that this is
something that we should be talking to ops about to validate?

Sincerely,
Jonas
