Downloading images from a website

[Fermin]

Is it possible to use LiveCode to download images from the internet to the computer?... I'm using the libURLDownloadToFile command but I can't get it, can someone please help me? Thank you very much.

For example:
https://img.kiosko.net/2020/11/08/es/canarias7.750.jpg
https://img.kiosko.net/2020/11/08/es/sport.750.jpg

Hola Fermin,

hm, this worked for me:

Code: Select all

on mouseUp 
   put specialfolderpath("desktop") & "/el_testo666.jpg" into tFile
   libURLDownloadToFile "https://img.kiosko.net/2020/11/08/es/canarias7.750.jpg",tFile
end mouseUp

What did you script so far?


Best

Klaus

Hi, Klaus. I'm back in Livecode (since a long time) and yesterday I started to prepare a utility to download newspaper covers. I've hardly used LiveCode with the Internet and until today I didn't know the libURLDownloadToFile command. I had been trying it for a while and wasn't sure if it would work, so I asked for help .... And like other times before, you gave me a hand. Thanks a lot, Klaus.
I put a little bit of my code (testing it crazy) but I already imagine that I was doing it wrong. The code you sent me works well so I'm going to investigate it and adapt it to my work. Thanks again.

Of course, there was the destination folder... but the file name (laDeskarga.jpg) was missing!
put "/Users/miMac27d/Downloads/laDeskarga.jpg" into casa
