Is there a way to use the existing query options on a getentries request so that it only returns records where the image that is selected (as a media type in the content model) is published? So that if the image is still draft then the entry is not returned?
Hey @andyburgess!
That’s how it should work now. We also show this warning in UI when you try to publish an entry with unpublished assets:
pdf (en-US) — 1 unpublished asset
That’s fine — but please keep in mind that these assets won’t show up in the Delivery API response (until they are published, of course).
So, you should be fine 
Let me know if you have any further questions.
