Ah, yes - the url property of Media objects is only valid: If the Media object is permanent (eg a Data Table) If you’re requesting it from the same browser session as the one that accessed the url property (if you’re requesting from outside the browser, each API request executes in a fresh session) For more information, see https://anvil.works/docs/media#using-media-objects-directly For what you’re doing, I would recommend creating an API endpoint that serves one image, and one that provides…

Alternatively, if the local server is one you control, could you run an uplink script on it? That way you wouldn’t need to make an API call, you could just read the data table directly and return the media object.
