Feature Request: Add cover image to API

[fakerybakery]

Hi,
Thanks for releasing the LibriVox API! Would it be possible to add the cover image to the API?
Thanks!

I'm sure it would be possible, yes! We've got 3 URL columns in the database for them (for the cover, its thumbnail, and a jacket-sleeve PDF), so those could be made public as part of the API. When projects first get published, they usually won't have any of the three, so API 'consumers' may have to refresh the data later.

I don't plan on implementing this myself any time soon - I'm more focused on bug-hunting and improving the direct experience of our web site, in the limited time I have for code. Someone else might swoop in to do it, or if you yourself come in with a PR, I'd be willing to help test it sooner than I would write and test it myself.

For anyone looking into this, I'd put eyes on application/libraries/Librivox_API.php. I'd imagine these belong among the 'extended' properties, but I know just enough about APIs to be dangerous.
