Add thumbnail embed from locally running api

As the title says, is there a way to add an image as embed thumbnail without having to deploy the api online? I'm new to writing rest api, and was wondering if it's possible to do this

do you mean local files?

I know local files are not supported for embed thumbnail But I'm planning to deploy a website someday, and I'm starting to test stuff to learn how to use apis, and I came across this interrogation If I'm running a rest api locally with every image etc that the bot as well as the website would use, could I also store embed thumnails and use them from there?

local files are supported though

Files in embeds should be attached via the message option object and referenced in the embed:

const attachment = new AttachmentBuilder('./image.png', { name: 'image1.png' });
const embed = new EmbedBuilder()
  .setTitle('Attachments')
  .setImage(`attachment://${attachment.name}`);

channel.send({
  embeds: [embed],
  files: [attachment]
});

const attachment = new AttachmentBuilder('./image.png', { name: 'image1.png' });
const embed = new EmbedBuilder()
  .setTitle('Attachments')
  .setImage(`attachment://${attachment.name}`);

channel.send({
  embeds: [embed],
  files: [attachment]
});

basically the same but with setThumbnail instead though if you really want to make a website you only need a file server, which is much easier to setup since doesn't even require code but that's outside the scope of djs, you'd need to ask in #other-js-ts
