[Request] add cover image URL to JSON output

[Parzival1608vonKatze]

Hello, I would like to request a feature:

• URL of cover image of anime/manga
  I do not really know my way around JSON and do not really understand your output chain (i.e.: I'm too stupid to implement this myself). But I wrote a script to give you an Idea of what I mean:

import requests

# Define the GraphQL query to retrieve anime data
query = '''
query ($search: String) {
  Media(search: $search, type: ANIME) {
    coverImage {
      extraLarge
    }
  }
}
'''

# Prompt the user to enter the anime name
anime_name = input('Enter the name of the anime (Romaji): ')

# Define the variables for the GraphQL query
variables = {
    'search': anime_name
}

# Send the GraphQL query to the AniList API
response = requests.post('https://graphql.anilist.co', json={'query': query, 'variables': variables})

# Extract the cover image URL from the API response
try:
    cover_image_url = response.json()['data']['Media']['coverImage']['extraLarge']
except KeyError:
    print('Anime not found!')
else:
    # Modify the URL to get the cover image of the desired size
    cover_image_url = cover_image_url.replace('/large/', '/medium/')

    # Print the cover image URL
    print('Cover image URL:', cover_image_url)

I don't know if this is too much to ask. Either way, thanks for reading this.
Have a good day!

No need anymore (for me at the very least). Thanks for reading anyways.
For anyone interested, I wrote my own short script, that dumps my Animelist (from AniList) into a JSON file (+metadata):

import requests
import json
import sys

# get Username as a parameter
username = sys.argv[1]
print("The username is:", username)

# Set up the request headers
headers = {"Content-Type": "application/json", "Accept": "application/json"}

# Set up the GraphQL query to fetch all anime data for the user
query = """
query ($username: String) {
  MediaListCollection(userName: $username, type: ANIME) {
    lists {
      name
      status
      entries {
        media {
          id
          title {
            romaji
            english
          }
          coverImage {
            medium
          }
          genres
          episodes
          bannerImage
        }
        progress
        score
        status
      }
    }
  }
}
"""

# Set up the request variables
variables = {"username": username}

# Make the request to the AniList API
response = requests.post("https://graphql.anilist.co", json={"query": query, "variables": variables}, headers=headers)

# Parse the response JSON
data = json.loads(response.text)

# Write the anime data to a JSON file
with open(f"{username}_anime_data.json", "w") as f:
    json.dump(data, f, indent=2)
