Oh, that’s a feature I entirely forgot about. I’ll fix the bot… soon.  
I’ll probably have to remove the svg tag on those pics, since it’s innacurate. Not looking forward to that.

It might be better to just delete most of those images entirely since importing the actual svgs should create new previews making the old images redundant

A little off topic, but is everything okay with the importer? It looks like it stopped uploading really early today, and I think it did the same a few days ago.

You’re right! I wouldn’t even have noticed, since it uploaded the expected amount of images.  
(I wasn’t handling networking errors, so that’s what caused the crash. Silly me)

Another crash, I’m afraid.
 
Since I haven’t said it yet, thanks for keeping the importer going. It’s a valuable service you’re providing for the site.

Okay, I finally got a proper look at this, and unfortunately it seems like the philomena API doesn’t provide .svg downloads. For some reason, it’s only available through the main page, and even then, not every picture has it. The tag is a mess on derpi, so I dunno if I should just set my importer to remove the tag when importing stuff. Imma ask the rest of staff.
 
Edit: I might as well provide examples. This one has the .svg available tag, but I cannot find any link that actually leads to an SVG. Meanwhile, this one has it under the DS button.  
I could modify my bot to attempt to scrape the website instead of using the API, but it seems like it wouldn’t actually bring that much, given that a good chunk of the things under that tag seem to actually be pngs.
 
I might actually try and figure it out, but no guarantees.

I think you might be looking at the wrong tag, the .svg available tag includes png’s with a link to download the svg, use the svg tag instead to see only .svg’s, the tags actually seem to be applied very accurately, the first example you posted looks like a rare exception but it was uploaded a couple of hours ago so I guess it’s just that no one else has noticed yet
 
I might actually try and figure it out, but no guarantees.
 
I hope you can find a solution since that would mean one less reason to visit DB, but either way thank you for trying

Oh, since it’s the first thing that popped up in the search, I assumed it was more common. I’ll set up my bot to scrape the image page, then
