Smile Calibre Recipe: Newspaper Front Page

Hi All, new to the forum and there's some great information here.

Is there a way to pull the front newspaper image as part of the Calibre recipe? I see this built in to the NY Times recipe, but not for the Minneapolis Star Tribune. As an example, how would I write the recipe to pull the front page daily from here:
https://www.frontpages.com/star-tribune/

For full transparency, I'm a paying subscriber to this publication.
Thanks for your advice in advance.

You implement the get_cover_url() method in your recipe class to eturn a url to whatever image you want to use as the cover.

This worked with star-tribune, many thanks for your help.

One other question, what recipe command would scale the cover not to appear so broadly on the device? Currently it is very short and fat, is there a command that would scale the cover image more appropriately?

Thanks again in advance.
