[Question] $meta.image of another generator

Does anyone know how to get the image url from the $meta object of another generator? I think there's an /api/ fetch I can do for it, but that stuff isn't documented anywhere, I don't think.

I've just added documentation for all the public APIs here: https://perchance.org/advanced-tutorial Thanks!
- Ah great! I just noticed this but the apis on that tutorial page only just showed up. I'll be trying them out!
- I don't suppose you could add an id to that <h2> could you? So we can link people direct to that section? 😉
  
  Done, thanks!
The endpoint for getting the generator stats/metadata is https://perchance.org/api/getGeneratorStats?names={names}, it would return a list of data based on the generator names inputted and it would give a metadata property per generator that you can access.

Here is an example of using it: https://perchance.org/generator-list-with-stats-2-template#edit
- Ah cool... thanks!
  
  Do you know if there's anywhere documenting /api/? Or at least listing endpoints/params so I can test and write my own docs for it?
  
  No, I don't think there is. The public ones that I've seen are:
  
  api/getGeneratorScreenshot?generatorName=name - for generator screenshots
  
  api/getGeneratorList?max=num - for the general generator list in the /generators page
  
  api/getGeneratorStats?names=name1,name2 - for individual stats as seen from https://perchance.org/generator-list-with-stats-2-template#edit
  
  api/downloadGenerator?generatorName=name - from the download-button-plugin
