Describe a related problem (optional)

You find an image you want to save somewhere, but when you download it or open it in a new tab, it's lowres and you can see from the URL that it's specifically a downscaled version or thumbnail of an image hosted elsewhere on the server.

Describe your suggested feature

I hadn't heard of this tool before, but someone requested this in LinkSheet recently LinkSheet/LinkSheet#344), and I thought it was a neat tool that could be integrated into URLCheck as well.

Image Max URL can find larger versions of images on what appears to be thousands of domains via manipulation of URLs.

Describe alternatives you've considered for your suggested feature

In many cases, blindly shooting in the dark, trial and error testing URLs to see what works.

My main concern with this is that it seems to require custom running code. Some pages have rules, others require requests... and the main code is on JavaScript and surprisingly long.

It would be very useful it they provided either an api (like virus total) or a catalog (like clearUrls) but in the current state it will basically require to rewrite all the code into java, and keep it up to date, which is basically impossible.

Maybe there is an api and I haven't found it? If so it would be possible, otherwise I'm afraid it's not :( sorry

Note that there is a page, but that page is running the custom JavaScript code itself (it isn't sending the petition to an external server).

Hmm, I wonder if using a hidden webview could be an alternative...

Hmm, I wonder if using a hidden webview could be an alternative...

There do seem to be quite a lot of web tools out there that rely on this or something similar (just thinking back on how many tampermonkey (or similar) scripts I've come across in my life), so I wonder if there might be some future value in figuring out a general solution to this, as I'm sure this won't be the last script that proves to be useful in URL manipulation.
