Use Downloaded images with backlinks to fanart.tv?

Hello.

I would like to use some of the fanarts on my private blog. I have a section where I rate the movies I last viewed. This section is open to the public.
In your API documentation you write:
Do not directly access our data without using the documented API methods.
But that would not be practical for me. I would have to use the API for images though I have an image selected when creating the entry.
Therefore I would like to know if it would be possible to host the images on my server. ( only the images to the movies I watched)
On each page, on which the fanarts are used, there is a backlink to fanart.tv.
This would also reduce your server load.

Is this possible?

Regards,
Sekob

Hi,

I'm a bit confused about your request? If you are using the API to automatically grab an image, store it locally and display that on your site with a link back to fanart.tv, that is not a problem.

All that rule means is use the API to return images instead of scraping the site.
