Check if Image exists before download

[Tom.]

Hey, 

So we have this system that pulls in from an API and downloads images. It's been working great however, the API has been spotty recently. It's been giving us images that are inaccessible or do not exist.

This is the code we have to add images:

if ($type == "0") {
	$p->images->add($url);
}

Pretty simple. Is there a way to check if the image is accessible before trying to download?

WireHttp might be one solution.

That will do the trick, Thanks @Jonathan Lahijani I knew I could just use curl but if there is anything I've learnt it's ProcessWire always has an easier solution ?
