Get all covers for a Manga

def get_covers_for(manga_id: str):
    # Asking the API about that manga with uuid 'manga_id'
    manga = cli.get_manga(manga_id)
    # Printing a message with manga.title, the Manga's title
    print("Getting covers for " + manga.title)
    # Call manga.get_covers(), which returns an Array of Covers that we iterate over
    for cover in manga.get_covers():
        # Getting the "volume" and "url" properties of the Cover object
        # Note that some covers can have a None volume, hence the 'cover.volume or unknown'
        print("Volume " + (cover.volume or 'unknown') + "'s cover: " + cover.url)

# Importing the downloader tool
from MangaDexPy import downloader
def download_latest_chapter(manga_id: str):
    # Asking the API about that manga with uuid 'manga_id'
    manga = cli.get_manga(manga_id)
    # Getting chapters for that manga
    chapters = manga.get_chapters()
    # Getting the latest item in the list into a variable
    latest_chapter = chapters[-1]
    # Telling the downloader to download in a folder
    # Note that you need to escape backslashes in Python
    downloader.dl_chapter(chapter, "C:\\Users\\Proxy\\Downloads\\Manga")

def check_untrusted_user_input(chapter_id: str):
    # Getting a chapter via the API
    try

      # The chapter exists: no error is raised
      print("This chapter exists!")
    except MangaDexPy.NoContentError:
      # API returned a 404 Not Found, therefore the wrapper will return a NoContentError
      print("This chapter doesn't exist.")
    except MangaDexPy.APIError as e:
      # API returned something that wasn't expected, the wrapper will return an APIError
      print("Something weird happened with the API.")
      print("Status code is: " + str(e.status))
