I had meant to reach out to you, my fan-project mtgddb.parseapp.com was relying on you.

Ive reached out to wizards to see if I cant just hotlink off their site instead, since they (understandably) dont seem to like people hosting the image collection.

Do tell us how that goes - I see a lot of without permissions in their TCs.

Itd be interesting if actually asking would result in a Sir Didymus moment.

Im new to this forum so I hope this is the right place to post this.

Has anyone discovered alternative sources for downloading images Im creating a new app using mtgjson (what a great resource) but it will be pretty useless if it cant display card images.

Naturally I would like to be able to display any and all cards, old and new.

Ive been doing quite a bit of searching and this appears to be a big problem for lots of developers.

It looks like it might be possible to get images directly from wizards.com, but I imagine its not that simple.

The TCs for Gatherer, unfortunately, prohibit scraping their site for images (their images are a bit low-res anyway) Some sites use MagicCards.info as an image source, although Im not sure what MCIs own stance on this is (of any of their devs frequent these forums, Id love to hear their position).

They use a special set code (included in MTGJSON) and the number of the card in the set (with some exceptions - see this post for information on how to generate missing card numbers) to construct their URL.

Some examining of their site should turn up the rest of the info you need.

Im not Hannes (the former owner of MTGS and current owner of MCI) but I have talked to him about using MCI in relation to Scry.

MCI is currently broken - it displays a 403 forbidden error when attempting to access an image.

I managed to download the crops, but the AllSets.hq.zip always stops at around 400MB.
