Pictures on Instagram, Pinterest, and Ecommerce websites are a big treasure to get inspired, especially for marketing reactionaries, Ecommerce owners and even scholars. Hence, they need an efficient way to scrape images. That’s exactly what will be introduced below: to empower the majority the capability to scrape images without coding skills.
The tool recommended here is Octoparse. Unlike a single-page image downloader, Octoparse helps you get multiple URLs of images. If you have requests below, the tool is definitely what you need.
“I am going to scrape images spanning over numerous pages”
When using Octoparse to scrape images, you can add pagination to the scraper so that it can scrape down image URLs automatically over a multitude of pages. Instead of downloading the images page by page, Octoparse could save you a lot of time.
“I am going to scrape images spanning over numerous screens”
Instead of pagination, Google Images uses infinite scroll and users have to scroll down to activate the loading of new content. Can a scraping tool get all pictures loaded before starting the process?
Yes, Octoparse can easily deal with pages with AJAX, it has a built-in browser that simulates human activities and visualizes the process. You can set the browser to scroll down to the bottom before starting to scrape.
“I want not only the images but also the other information related to it”
People working on e-commerce product research won’t be satisfied with product images alone. They have to study not only the look and design of the product, but also prices and other parameters to evaluate its overall performance.
Octoparse offers built-in templates for users to scrape a series of websites such as Amazon, Yelp, Booking, etc. In this case, you can not only scrape down the URLs of images, but also other information about the product, the restaurant, or the hotel.
Now since you have two data sets available in correspondence with one another, you get a small product database now and can start your research.
Finally, we come to the end. With the scraped URLs of images, you can start the downloading work. What’s more, in the upcoming 8.5.4 version of Octoparse, image download during the data scraping process will be supported. You won’t miss it!
