Collect information from BGG after ID has been filled in.

[Postman hyperlink] (https://www.postman.com/1toddlewis/workspace/boardgamegeek/overview) Use the "GET Thing" call.

Needed:

[ ] Get image
[ ] Get [primary] Name
[ ] Get description
[ ] Get playtime (+ min/max)
[ ] Get min/max amount of players

Nice to have:

[ ] Get optimal amount of players [suggested_numplayers]
[ ] Get language dependence

Check if this still works after implementing:

[ ] Ability to change all data if needed in Squire itself

It looks doable to implement the BGG, in the past it was deemed unfeasible. You might need to transform the XML from the API to JSON. Online you can find multiple solutions for this.
