5 years ago Would using the wiki API be the best way of going about doing this? They seem to provide some image data:

}The thumbnail provided seems like it could be the right size to use: https://gamepedia.cursecdn.com/bindingofisaacre_gamepedia/1/1a/The_Sad_Onion_Icon.png?version=abb57c5cd0421f7cfb3cd6df9b54502f
As a user of the game I believe adding the image assets to each item using their correlating ID so visually it looks better and easier to read for the user. -> with potential to linking them to the BoI wiki or plantinum god.
