Question

I’m developing a site where an image needs to be grabbed on the page… e.g. I would present to the end-user a text input – they enter the url….and it finds the images on the page if they are over “x”px dimensions..for example..if they enter a url to an amazon product page – …it then grabs the product image…. and then saves on my server…

Does anyone know of an off-the-shelf script that can do this or an online tutorial? – Think of Facebook..when you enter the url…of somethign to share, it grabs the image…and text on that page.

Thanks.

Don’t know how familiar with python you are, but there is a good library for web scraping there, called scrapy

http://scrapy.org/

That’s if you can use something else then javascript or jquery
