Download image with selenium python

by

Here’s a complete example (using google’s recaptcha as a target):

import urllib
from selenium import webdriver

driver = webdriver.Firefox()
driver.get('http://www.google.com/recaptcha/demo/recaptcha')

# get the image source
img = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//div[@id="recaptcha_image"]/img')
src = img.get_attribute('src')

# download the image
urllib.urlretrieve(src, "captcha.png")

driver.close()

UPDATE:

The problem with dynamic generated images is that there is a new image generated each time you request it. In that case, you have several options:

  • take a screenshot

    from selenium import webdriver

driver = webdriver.Firefox()
driver.get('https://moscowsg.megafon.ru/ps/scc/php/cryptographp.php?PHPSESSID=mfc540jkbeme81qjvh5t0v0bnjdr7oc6&ref=114&w=150')

driver.save_screenshot("screenshot.png")

driver.close()

  • simulate right click + “Save As”. See this thread for more info.

Hope that helps.
