Feature to get a artist's cover image

[Sibyl666]

Plan

Premium

Operating System

Windows 10

Currently 

https://api.spotify.com/v1/artists/{id}

The endpoint doesn't return us the cover image of the artist. Which desktop app/Spotify's website is able to.

Which artist are you trying to get the cover image for? Provide the Spotify id.

Does it really matter? I have to get any artist's cover image for the app I am developing for

[Peter_Schorn]

Does it matter if your question is answered?

I made a request to the

https://api.spotify.com/v1/artists/{id}

endpoint and got the following response, which includes images

The images field gives you the avatar of the artist, not the cover image. For example, make a request to the 4TrraAsitQKl821DQY42cZ
https://i.scdn.co/image/ab6761610000e5ebcba128753f3121ef52cf914b this is the avatar url but if you look at Sigrid's profile from Spotify you will see that the cover image is different. https://prnt.sc/1seprfy

The images that are currently returned are the only ones you're gonna get. This is consistent with all of the artists I've retrieved images for.

Since 2017 there is no updates on this topic which is annoying. At least let us able to get smaller version of cover image
