Retrieve icon of individual subscription #69

Closed logancgarcia closed 1 year ago

logancgarcia commented 1 year ago

Currently, the /v2/icons endpoint does not support grabbing an individual icon for a feed. This may be useful in the case of third party feed readers that want an endpoint to grab an individual icon. I can think of three possibilities to solve this:

  1. Allow to append a subscription id to the /v2/icons endpoint, so that an individual icon could be obtained by calling, for example, /v2/icons/525.json
  2. Include an icon field for a subscription response, so that a call to, for example, /v2/subscriptions/525.json, would return its regular payload in addition to the aforementioned icon field
  3. Potentially create a new endpoint to retrieve this information, as the /v2/icons endpoint may not be the intended place for this information (as outlined in https://github.com/feedbin/feedbin-api/issues/52, which outlines the concern that not all icons for subscriptions are populated)

Hi @logancgarcia,

The existing API should work just fine for this as you can match the hostname to the item you need in the icons array.

Thanks!

@benubois the exception to that is when the subscription has a different icon and does not use the host icon, for example for YouTube.
