Bug: Script seems to strip metadata from downloaded assets

What kind of metadata do you expect there to be on the downloaded asset? And what is the actual metadata?

[francispeixoto]

Mostly exif. The images I downloaded had their exif stripped, so all the dates tags were reset to the download date. Your script is actually part of a chain, the next step being to sync the files to google photos. No exif means that photos can't place the pictures properly in the timeline

So looking into it more, I think the culprit is classdojo that strips the exif when the educator uploads a picture. I figure it's a feature to meet privacy requirements or something. I forked your repo and I'm going to look into modules too edit the exif. I figure I can reinject exif data from the content timestamps

Makes sense that classdojo strips it out.
Although you can only reinject the time that the photo was uploaded, not the time the photo was taken. But I guess that's better than nothing.

Yeah it's not the most accurate timestamp, but so far with my daycare, they're uploading on the same day, so I'm not to worried. I can accept a few days discrepancy. I just can't have two year old photos bunched up with yesterday's.
