Drupal REST how to get an image

In retrieving an image, the primary element required is:

• File id or fid;

Query string

Using the element outlined above the query string becomes:

{domain}/file/{fid}/?_format=hal_json

Replacing the following variables:

• {domain} ~ your-site.com
• {fid} ~ 3214

Becomes:

your-site.com/file/3214?_format=hal_json

Generates the following output:

{
    "_links":
    {
        "self":
        {
            "href": "https://your-site.com/file/3214?_format=hal_json"
