Brickset can not link to Bricklink, if the set is listed as "gear" at Bricklink

Lebostein

Bricklink knows two categories "Set" and "Gear". Sometimes sets like the chess 40174 is listed under "Gear" at Bricklink. In this case, the link to Bricklink is broken on Brickset:

https://brickset.com/sets/40174-1/LEGO-Chess

https://brickset.com/sets/40198-1/LEGO-Ludo-Game

"This item is not available or not listed at BrickLink."

But it is listed at Bricklink:

https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?G=40174

https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?G=40198

You see the "G" in the link. That means "gear". In normal case there is a "S" for set...

also key chains:

https://brickset.com/sets/5005205-1

https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?G=5005205

Huw

This is because BrickLink does not add the -1 suffix to gear and while we do have a means of dealing with such inconsistencies it's not something I've spent time doing,

what about something like a try / except:
Try:
https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?S={number}-{version}
Except:
https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?G={number}
