I assume that omdbapi only hosts the poster on their CDN, if there is not an external Poster
url defined. Probably a way to save bandwitdh and storage space.
In my code, I try to fetch the poster from img.omdbapi
and if it returns a 404
and we have Poster
url defined, I download this one.
let posterFileName = await fetchPoster(imdbID)
// if posterFileName is null but we have entryData.Poster, then we download the referenced image and save it
if (!posterFileName && entryData.Poster) {
posterFileName = await downloadPoster(imdbID, entryData.Poster)
}
This seems to work in 100% of the cases, so it's either hosted on their side or referenced in Poster
.
Get image via image API returns 404 for the following movie http://img.omdbapi.com/?i=tt2934286&apikey= But when getting info for the same id http://www.omdbapi.com/?i=tt2934286&apikey= poster url is present and is working fine. info API response:
Why image and info API work differently? Does image API get image data from url provided in info API?
