Newer Cards Do Not Have Images #36

Open H0r53 opened 2 years ago

H0r53 commented 2 years ago

I just started using mtgsdk and I think it's great. I have two questions/concerns:

Some of the cards from the most recent set Kamigawa Neon Dynasty do not include image_url's. Example: "The Wandering Emperor"

Will these images become available in the future?
Will mtgsdk support cards from future sets after they are released? I imagine an API is made to a database in the backend, so ideally I won't have to update mtgsdk each time a new set releases.
Thanks!

I've looked into this, and only versions of cards that appear on Gatherer have images. In particular, Wandering Emperor has 6 printings that can be found with this sdk, and only 3 of them appear on Gatherer. So if your use-case requires images, make sure you don't just take, say, the first possible printing for each card, but search for one that has an image.
