Hi,
Sorry, I saw your last comment just forgot to answer it. The issue you linked was related of an earlier version of the IGDB api where the cover was an object. Since then it got changed.
Thanks for closing the issue!

Hi @RazenIW,
Thank you for using my wrapper! I just checked the examples I made eariler and I cannot find any with the cover field being an object. Can you tell me where did you see this? Or where this example is located? It is possible that it worked different on earlier versions of IGDB API and I forgot to update the documentation somewhere.
Currently the API will return a cover id in this field. If you check the game endpoint documentation you can see that the cover field is a reference id for a cover object. In this case you can either:
- send another query to the
coverendpoint with the ID you got - use the expander feature of the IGDB API
I recommend using the expander. This way you can get every information you want in a single query. To use the expander update your options array as below:
$options = array(
'search' => 'uncharted 4',
'fields' => array(
'id',
'name',
'cover.*' // note the expander feature here
)
);Using these options the return value of the query changes as below:
array (size=5)
0 =>
object(stdClass)[2]
public 'id' => int 7331
public 'cover' =>
object(stdClass)[3]
public 'id' => int 81917
public 'alpha_channel' => boolean false
public 'animated' => boolean false
public 'game' => int 7331
public 'height' => int 960
public 'image_id' => string 'co1r7h' (length=6)
public 'url' => string '//images.igdb.com/igdb/image/upload/t_thumb/co1r7h.jpg' (length=54)
public 'width' => int 720
public 'checksum' => string 'd2893576-b1fe-06e2-c813-2896e1bba9a1' (length=36)
public 'name' => string 'Uncharted 4: A Thief's End' (length=26)
1 =>
object(stdClass)[4]
public 'id' => int 136686
public 'name' => string 'Uncharted 4: A Thief's End - Deluxe Edition' (length=43)

public 'name' => string 'Uncharted 4: A Thief's End Libertalia Collector's Edition' (length=57)
4 =>
object(stdClass)[9]
public 'id' => int 112090
public 'cover' =>
object(stdClass)[10]
public 'id' => int 69356
public 'alpha_channel' => boolean false
public 'animated' => boolean false

public 'width' => int 492
public 'checksum' => string '15be2383-507c-becd-a6ab-d02ecccfa3f1' (length=36)
public 'name' => string 'Uncharted Water IV' (length=18)The cover object in the results will contain all fields of the cover endpoint. Of course, you can fine tune this by using specific fields to exclude unnecessary information.
$options = array(
'search' => 'uncharted 4',
'fields' => array(
'id',
'name',
'cover.image_id', // view the image_id
'cover.url' // and url fields only
)
);The result will be:
array (size=5)
0 =>
object(stdClass)[2]
public 'id' => int 7331
public 'cover' =>
object(stdClass)[3]
public 'id' => int 81917

Hello,
I tried using the expander feature and it works now 👍
This is where I saw cover fields being objects instead of integers at first.
Thanks a lot !
