The static data section of the API quick reference sheets (http://www.spore.com/comm/samples) has this printed:

Paint Icon:
Using the filename for a part with a given id, you can retrieve it's icon.
For paint with id 0x18890fd2, filename is "BE_zany_37" The URL is:
http://www.spore.com/data/paints/thumbs/BE_zany_37.png

However, when I try to access that resource, I get a 404.

Has the URL for this data changed?

Thanks!

Though the docs don't say it, if you just make the name all lowercase (be_zany_37.png), you will not get a 404.

Fantastic! Thanks for your help
