MediaRSS is the way to encode images in the Almost Universal API (AUAPI). Because MediaRSS encodes its values in attributes, we use the @ symbol to prefix keys.

Example 1 – a single image

'media:content': {
    '@medium': 'image',
    '@type': 'image/jpeg',
    '@url': u'http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2165/2271778128_b59c01a695_m.jpg'
}

Example 2 – thumbnail

'media:thumbnail': {
    '@url': u'http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2165/2271778128_b59c01a695_t.jpg'
}

Example 3 – multiple images in different sizes

'media:group': {
    'media:content': [
        {'@medium': 'image',
        '@type': 'image/jpeg',
        '@url': u'http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2165/2271778128_b59c01a695_m.jpg'},
        {'@medium': 'image',
        '@type': 'image/jpeg',
        '@url': u'http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2165/2271778128_b59c01a695_s.jpg'},
        {'@medium': 'image',
        '@type': 'image/jpeg',
        '@url': u'http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2165/2271778128_b59c01a695_b.jpg'}
    ],
    'media:thumbnail': {
        '@url': u'http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2165/2271778128_b59c01a695_t.jpg'
    }
}
