Question: how should I set Medium Featured Images as asset inside an asset field from Medium feed?

[Saboteur777]

Description

I would like to import entries from Medium, and add the posts featured images to the newly-created entries as an asset inside an asset field. The "Featured image" in Medium feeds are located inside the <content:encoded> tags, as you can see below (the ones inside the <figure></figure> tags):

If my instinct is right, I have to write an additional parser for Feed Me, right? If yes, how should I start to do that? :)

Steps to reproduce

1. Use Feed Me
2. Try to import entries from Medium, including their Featured image as an asset added to a field.

Additional info

• Plugin version: 4.1.0
• Craft version: 3.1.24

To answer my own question: I wrote a plugin for this.
