How to scrap the image url using "SRC" for google image seach result

Help
1

I am trying to scrap the google image search result. So far the links and titles are all fine. But i am having difficulty getting the image url for each link show in the google image search result.

when i try to use the inspect function the link appears to be a messy code instead of a proper link.

this is what i get for one image link:

Hi @Penganimation,

  • Use Get attribute activity and indicate the image
  • Set Attribute value as ‘src’ and get the result as string from Output property

@Penganimation
the image src is not an url. It is a base64 encoded string.

Give a try on following:

decode the string save the bytes in a file

Thank you Peter for your help again. I am downlaoding a text file instead of a uipath file. And there is no instructions on how to use it. I am not a programmer so I am kind of stuck here. haha…

@Penganimation
I will try to have a look on this in my evening.
Please check 1 url from your needs and, identify 1 image and share this info with us.
So we can work taskoriented the right things.

Thanks

@Penganimation
as a quick starter (later it can be beautified):
Dim imageBytes As Byte() = Convert.FromBase64String(YourBase64String)
File.WriteAllBytes(“image.jpg”, imageBytes)

But remove from Start:
data:image/jpeg;base64,/9j/

data:image/jpeg;base64,
and let start the image data by: /9j/

Thank you very much Peter, I think I still need a lot more learning on this. Meanwhile I am trying out another method to work around my current problem. Again appreciate it a lot!!!
