download images from url and save as zip file in Python [closed]
I am getting so many online links of images. How I can now download them as a zip file?
Until now I didn't get a working solution and tried a solution following answers to this question.
So do I have to move to javascript or will it work in python?

They don't mention anything about downloading images/content. It's a fairly general question you've linked. What specifically about that question hasn't worked for you?

streaming from
requests will download an image as a bytes object that you can put in a zip file. The implementation in your linked question works just as well. You may want to revise your question to include what you want to do with your now-downloaded image– C.Nivs

I've had some success using the requests module to download zip files/download files to a zipped folder:
requests
# Download file contents via GET call
r = requests.get('http://myurl.com')
# Open folder and write contents to it
with open('/path/to/file.zip', 'wb') as fh:
fh.write(r.content)
This will write the downloaded bytes to the folder. This does take some time, depending on the size of the images/zip-folder being downloaded over http. Sometimes you may need to take advantage of the stream=True arg in the requests.get call if the file is particularly large
stream=True
requests.get
I want to download this as a zip file

You may need to flesh out your question a bit more to include your use-case. If you are attempting to display content via Django, then you need to link it as such. What I've put above downloads content from a page, and writes it to a zipped folder, per your question. If you want it to display in Django, you may need to stream the content to a form/html template. Simply asking ` how I can now download them as zip ` seems to not encapsulate your problem

I used PyCharm for this, it should work in all different IDE's I think. This code creates the ZIP files for all the images from the website, you can change the link accordingly to download pictures from specific links.
import random
import urllib.request
def download_web_image(url):
nameOfPicture = random.randrange(1, 10)
whole_name = str(nameOfPicture) + ".zip"
urllib.request.urlretrieve(url, whole_name)
download_web_image(")
However, this will only download in the folder that you have the IDE in(EX : This file will be saved within my PycharmProjects folder. )
Can you show your code?
