The XML URL is calculated by taking the image's filename (minus the extension), calculating the MD5 hash of that + a static salt (which is visible in the source), then replacing the image extension with the first 10 chars of the hash + ".xml". Example [1]. What type of third party would they be giving this API to?

They 403'd this specific link it looks like. An image I uploaded about an hour ago seems to be working still. [1] is the data it returned for the 403'd image. Here's [2] some Ruby code if you want to try it out yourself
