Get an Image of an Athlete — get_athlete

Download the image of an athlete from the FIS page. Images are not available for all athletes.

Usage

get_athlete_image(athlete, file = NULL)

athlete: a list or data frame with the field/column competitor_id that describe a single athlete. The easiest way to create such a data frame is through the functions query_athletes(), query_race(), or query_standings(). These functions can return multiple athletes, but get_athlete_image() only downloads the image for one athlete. If multiple athletes are passed, only the first one will be used.
file: if given, the image file will be stored to the given path. The image files are png or jpg and the file ending will be added automatically depending on the file type. Any user provided file ending will be ignored.

NULL invisibly. As a side effect, the image is displayed and, if file is given, stored to the requested path.

The image resolution is 100 x 100.
