You can do requests like these: https://<opac>/cgi-bin/koha/opac-image.pl?thumbnail=1&biblionumber=68225 https://<opac>/cgi-bin/koha/opac-image.pl?biblionumber=68225 ...and get the image back. What would the API return other than the image itself? *** Bug 36223 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** In my opinion there is still something missing though. There is no way to know if a record actually have a local cover image or not. If you use a generated link with the biblionumber in the hope that all your catalog will have cover image then many records will be missing a cover (unless you provide a local cover image to all your records). It would be great to export the local cover image to a marc field only if it exists. we could then check the presence of this field (unimarc 856u for example) to generate a cover image link, or not. oh I did not know the URL https://<opac>/cgi-bin/koha/opac-image.pl?biblionumber=68225 It suits my needs but I agree with Arthur's comment, we should have a way to check if a record has a (or several) local cover But you can not use 856u in unimarc for that, this field must be reserved for the link to the online ressource itself (see https://www.transition-bibliographique.fr/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/B856-6-2010.pdf , in french). I think marc21 is less strict. |
