Cover image URL correct but not retrievable
-
With API key in place GBI retrieves all fields (including the various image size links) but bails out at the point of creating featured image with error mentioned in the previous post (500 Internal Server Error). After days of investigation (including testing access from different geographic regions) I found out that most if not all image sizes other than smallThumbnail (zoom=5)cannot be retrieved due to 500 error reported by Google. Below two examples:
This is ok (smallThumbnail as the only available image):

(but if you manually change zoom to 5 it shows)This is across the board and as I believe a recent occurrence.
Do you know the reason for this? What would solve this dilemma?
Many thanks.
