TheGamesDb.net

Hello,

My python application attempts to download boxart/fanart for games but cannot since the images are hosted at an https: URL.

For testing purposes, I have also tried using download programs and they too fail to download all images.

Example URL as per result of Image by Game ID Request: https://cdn.thegamesdb.net/images/origi ... 2236-1.jpg (works in browser...)

Is there something I am missing so that image download will start working?

Do requests to the image URL need to include an API key, and if so please provide an example on how to properly format the URL.

Thanks in advance for your help.

I'll issue you an API key, Swagger docs should provide the examples you're seeking.

Hello!

you don't need a key, you just need to enable https in your python request.

When downloading images from an HTTPS URL using Python, you typically don't need an API key unless the server hosting the images explicitly requires authentication for access. The standard approach to downloading images from HTTPS URLs in Python involves using the requests library.
