I'm working on learning Beautiful Soup and am running into an issue while trying to scrape an image that was uploaded from a local directory. The error I am seeing is:
ValueError: unknown url type: 'images/ixa2.png'
What I assume is happening is the image was loaded from a local directory and isn't being hosted through a URL. This is what it looks like when I inspect the element that I am attempting to scrape:
<img width="200" align="left" hspace="0" src="ixa/cards/axisofmortality.jpg">
Here's the code I am using:
from urllib import request
import urllib.request
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup as soup
def make_soup(url):
result = request.urlopen(url)
page = result.read()
parsed_page = soup(page, "html.parser")
result.close()
return parsed_page
def get_images(url):
soup = make_soup(url)
images = [img for img in soup.findAll('img')]
print (str(len(images)) + "images found.")
print('Downloading images to current working directory.')
#compile our unicode list of image links
image_links = [each.get('src') for each in images]
for each in image_links:
filename=each.split('/')[-1]
urllib.request.urlretrieve(each, filename)
return image_links
get_images('http://ift.tt/1iqkhK2')
