There are two alternative approaches you can take
1) Get the webpage and search for the cover URL in it
2) Try alternative URLs
Both require some programming
I'll outline 2
Code:
from datetime import datetime, timedelta
t = datetime.utcnow()
while True:
url = t.strftime('http://whatever/%Y/%m%d_large.jpg')
try:
self.browser.open(url)
return url
except:
t = t - timedelta(days=1)
