Get icon of current game from Member object

Hello! I've been working on a project that uses Discord.js to grab the current activity of a Guild Member and display it as an SVG. I've got Custom Statuses and Rich Presence working, but I don't know how to get a URL to the icon of a non-Rich Presence application like Baldur's Gate 3. This is the Activity object associated with it:

Activity {
  name: "Baldur's Gate 3",
  type: 0,
  url: null,
  details: null,
  state: null,
  applicationId: '1137125502985961543',
  timestamps: { start: 2024-07-28T23:36:20.761Z, end: null },
  party: null,
  syncId: null,
  assets: null,
  flags: ActivityFlagsBitField { bitfield: 0 },
  emoji: null,
  buttons: [],
  createdTimestamp: 1722209793336
}

Activity {
  name: "Baldur's Gate 3",
  type: 0,
  url: null,
  details: null,
  state: null,
  applicationId: '1137125502985961543',
  timestamps: { start: 2024-07-28T23:36:20.761Z, end: null },
  party: null,
  syncId: null,
  assets: null,
  flags: ActivityFlagsBitField { bitfield: 0 },
  emoji: null,
  buttons: [],
  createdTimestamp: 1722209793336
}

My understanding based on this discussion is that Discord maintains a list of detectable games with associated icon IDs. The URL they reference (https://discord.com/api/v9/applications/detectable) doesn't appear to contain icon data, though because it contains entries for relatively recent games I'm sure it's being updated. Am I overlooking something, is there another solution, or is this just no longer possible?

try using https://discord.com/api/v9/applications/public?application_ids=IDHERE

unfortunately doesn't seem to be available to bots, unless I'm being foolish

hi, you can construct the avatar url by using

const app = client.users.fetch(appId) // this will fetch your app
const avatarUrl = app.displayAvatarURL()

const app = client.users.fetch(appId) // this will fetch your app
const avatarUrl = app.displayAvatarURL()

tho this would not be an svg

I have the avatar, banner, custom emoji, and rich presence assets working fine (https://github.com/TetraTsunami/discord-github-preview), but I appreciate the advice :)

I hope this might illustrate my issue. In my profile, I can see the logo for Cookie Clicker when I have cookie clicker open. The image URL according to devtools is https://cdn.discordapp.com/app-icons/1124351789895004280/a0820416954a79e24dfe9d9b7d31369b.webp?size=80&keep_aspect_ratio=false. But the API response for the activity is

 Activity {
    name: 'Cookie Clicker',        
    type: 0,
    url: null,
    details: null,
    state: null,
    applicationId: '1124351789895004280',
    timestamps: { start: 2024-07-30T19:29:39.216Z, end: null },       
    party: null,
    syncId: null,
    assets: null,
    flags: ActivityFlagsBitField { bitfield: 0 },
    emoji: null,
    buttons: [],
    createdTimestamp: 1722367780370
  },

 Activity {
    name: 'Cookie Clicker',        
    type: 0,
    url: null,
    details: null,
    state: null,
    applicationId: '1124351789895004280',
    timestamps: { start: 2024-07-30T19:29:39.216Z, end: null },       
    party: null,
    syncId: null,
    assets: null,
    flags: ActivityFlagsBitField { bitfield: 0 },
    emoji: null,
    buttons: [],
    createdTimestamp: 1722367780370
  },

As you can see, that icon URL is nowhere to be found. The application ID matches, but I don't know how to find "a0820416954a79e24dfe9d9b7d31369b" to construct the full image URL. Format doesn't matter because I'm embedding them anyway.

found a solution from the Discord Developers server (https://discord.com/channels/613425648685547541/1183059417755815956), I need to make a request to https://discord.com/api/v10/applications/<app_id>/rpc and the icon hash is there
