Get Images from Google Images

[lb1 (Lb)]

Hey y’all,

I have a problem in my workflow where I’m stuck since 2 days and would be really happy to get some help.
So I’m basically trying to scrape Results from Google Images.

Meaning: The bot types in a word like “Oreo” and “site:walmart.com” (just examples, the real use case is not walmart and because of the structure of the real sites I can not scrape from their pages as I want to) and waits for Google Images to load the results. Then clicks on the first image (becuase otherwise the src is just a micro thumbnail) saves the description and the image (as src instead of text). The first image always works. But most of the other images just result in sth. like this: data:image/jpeg;base64,/9j/4AAQSkZJRgABAQAAA… and so on.

I’m using extract data table for this.

Thank you so much for any help!

Hello @lb1

Can you use Get Attribute and try to fetch the src link? That link can be used to download the file.

Thanks

@lb1

data:image/jpeg;base64,/9j/4AAQSkZJRgABAQAAA… a

we can convert the Base64 string back into bytes and then save the file, when src is not pointing to a resource file
