How to download an image with Python 3/Selenium if the URL begins with “blob:”?

by

A blob is a filelike object of raw data stored by the browser.

You can see them at chrome://blob-internals/

It’s possible to get the content of a blob with Selenium with a script injection. However, you’ll have to comply to the cross origin policy by running the script on the page/domain that created the blob:

def get_file_content_chrome(driver, uri):
  result = driver.execute_async_script("""
    var uri = arguments[0];
    var callback = arguments[1];
    var toBase64 = function(buffer){for(var r,n=new Uint8Array(buffer),t=n.length,a=new Uint8Array(4*Math.ceil(t/3)),i=new Uint8Array(64),o=0,c=0;64>c;++c)i[c]="ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789+/".charCodeAt(c);for(c=0;t-t%3>c;c+=3,o+=4)r=n[c]<<16|n[c+1]<<8|n[c+2],a[o]=i[r>>18],a[o+1]=i[r>>12&63],a[o+2]=i[r>>6&63],a[o+3]=i[63&r];return t%3===1?(r=n[t-1],a[o]=i[r>>2],a[o+1]=i[r<<4&63],a[o+2]=61,a[o+3]=61):t%3===2&&(r=(n[t-2]<<8)+n[t-1],a[o]=i[r>>10],a[o+1]=i[r>>4&63],a[o+2]=i[r<<2&63],a[o+3]=61),new TextDecoder("ascii").decode(a)};
    var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
    xhr.responseType="arraybuffer";
    xhr.onload = function(){ callback(toBase64(xhr.response)) };
    xhr.onerror = function(){ callback(xhr.status) };
    xhr.open('GET', uri);
    xhr.send();
    """, uri)
  if type(result) == int :
    raise Exception("Request failed with status %s" % result)
  return base64.b64decode(result)

bytes = get_file_content_chrome(driver, "blob:https://developer.mozilla.org/7f9557f4-d8c8-4353-9752-5a49e85058f5")
