Hi there,
I'm working on a game launcher, and wanted to understand what the best way forward with this is.
I understand that the recommended use of the API is not to let end users hit it directly, but rather to take the database dump and periodically update my copy of the entire DB via API calls. My question is, how should images be handled? Can I just grab and cache them on my server during updates? Can I grab all of them during my initial data import job?
I only ask because I can't find any concrete answer whether that's allowed, and I don't want to pull down ~86k images with a script and upset anyone!
Thanks!
