python newspaper module - get all the images from an article

Question

By using newspaper module of python , I can get the top image from an article in the following way:

from newspaper import Article
first_article = Article(url="http://www.lemonde.fr/...", language='fr')
first_article.download()
first_article.parse()
print(first_article.top_image)

But I need to get all the images in the article. Their github documentation says : 'All image extraction from html' is possible. But I can't just figure that out. And i do no want to manually download and save the html files in hard drive and then feed the module with the files and get the images.

In what way can I achieve that ?

Answer 1

You likely solved this already, but you can obtain the image urls with Newspaper by calling article.images.

from newspaper import Article

article = Article(url="http://www.lemonde.fr/", language='fr')
article.download()
article.parse()
top_image = article.top_image
all_images = article.images
for image in all_images:
  print(image)
