IT IS possible. Can be done by

  • Get Attribute Activity
  • For datascrapping. Configured the columns manually and Change the atrr config to src
  • Find children with a Filter to IMG and later Processing the found children retrieving the SRC attribute

@ppr,

Get attribute is for single position right? But we need that img src from whole page.Means, that image not in fixed position.it is available in any place of that page.This process is for multipage.So have to change the pahe selectors dynamically.

Thank U

This will be handled with the selector to Image and is Not bound to Position. Can you Share some more Details. Eg. Screenshots. Thanks

Try to use Get children activity. It will give you collection of ui elements. Youe can loop through them and get attribute for each element

@ppr
for example: In our Uipath site, we have the logo image or whatever.i need those image and save it to the local folder.

Not able to indicate the screen in find element activity.

can you tell us,with which browser you have tried? Is with Internet Explorer the same result (Check that IE is not running under protected mode)

@ppr
Yeah, I have tried in IE.but the result is same.
Is it possible to get images by using URL alone?

have a look here by using HTTP Request API. used in an invoke code

Dim webRequest As System.Net.HttpWebRequest = DirectCast(WebRequest.Create(imageUrl), System.Net.HttpWebRequest)
webRequest.AllowWriteStreamBuffering = True
webRequest.Timeout = 30000
Dim webResponse As System.Net.WebResponse = webRequest.GetResponse()
Dim stream As System.IO.Stream  = webResponse.GetResponseStream()
image = Nothing
image = System.Drawing.Image.FromStream(stream)
webResponse.Close()

For image saving:
Invoke the Save method of the tmpImage variable and provide the filepath

You also can check to do it with HTTP Request Activity
