MLB Logos

Hello! I have been exploring the MLB API and I am curious if there is a way to get team logos?

i didn't find a way. but if you go here https://www.mlb.com/team
you can right click and save each logo as an svg file. so you can edit them however you want In figma, etc. store them in a folder, and tell your app that's where the logos are, and it'll match the logo with the team ID from the APIs. just label all the svgs abbreviation.svg - (LAD.svg, NYY.svg)

this was the easy solution for me.

import statsapi

team_data = statsapi.lookup_team('')

for x in team_data:
     teamID= x['id']
     teamName = x['name']
     print(f"The team name for ID {teamID} is: {teamName}")  
     print(f"https://www.mlbstatic.com/team-logos/{teamID}.svg")
