Get image from marketplace WP7

Question

I'd like to do a best of application list. It is just a list with a title and an image. I saw the MarketplaceDetailTask(); who take the marketPlaceId (marketplaceDetailTask.ContentIdentifier).

My question is, is there a way, knowing this Id, to get the image url of the corresponding app ?

I've done some research but nothing about an API or something to return this url.

There is no built-in API in Windows Phone to retrieve this kind of information. However, you can try querying directly the service used by the Zune client. This service isn't publicly documented, but there's a few blog posts explaining how to use it. For instance:
