Download all images from a site

Question

good afternoon, is there a way to download all images from a site using python? I searched a lot and didn't find any way, I found ways to download a single image but not several or all

Answer 1

First question: What did you try so far?

Exists tons of ways to download the images: scrap the sites using selenium for example, save all links and then send the send requests for all links to download the image.

Things you need to do:

1 - Scrap the website using selenium or axios/request or any python library that can get the link inside of the page (html)

2 - Save all the images links on a array/list/file

3 - Send the request for each link (you can use curl/wget/request) and save inside of a directory

Impacts of doing it:

1 - depending of the server you're downloading the images, it will probably block your IP because it will see your requests as spam/bots

2 - Depending of the images size, your disk will get full really fast

How to solve item 1 in case you decide to do it:

1.a - change your IP inside of the script (it will require knowledge of networks)

1.b - put some timer/wait inside of the script to not sent all requests at same time

Answer 2

I would consider using the web scraping tool BeautifulSoup alongside other libraries such as request and urllib. Dependable on how fast you want to scrape and download the images, other web scraping tools are available such as Selenium and Scrapy. You would need to set up a loop in your code to look for all the image files in the source code if that is png or jpg or other. I hope this helps and provides you with a start.
