Timeline: add author images #304

Open tonyahowe opened 4 months ago

tonyahowe commented 4 months ago

Is it possible to automatically pull and add images of authors from the linked data to our timeline? Not sure what the best option is for display, but something consistent and tidy?

@tonyahowe Where would I be getting these images? Are there links to them in the works?

tonyahowe commented 4 months ago

There's nothing directly available in the associated LCNAF or VIAF records, but there is the WikiData page, which seems to be available for most all of the authors. And in the source of those wikidata pages, there's a line (if an image is available) containing a link to the image file: <meta property="og:image" content="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/cc/CassandraAusten-JaneAusten%28c.1810%29_hires.jpg/1200px-CassandraAusten-JaneAusten%28c.1810%29_hires.jpg">

Can the first property "og:image" link be used? If no og:image or no wikidata link from the LCNAF, then do nothing?

@tonyahowe This is tricky to do programmatically, the link to the wikimedia record is not in the mads record, it is in the JSON version, but some of them seem to return funky data which trips up my script. I will leave it open, but am going to focus on some other issues for now.

Sounds good—thanks!
