A program for when it becomes necessary to collect a large number of cat images for various reasons. First, install feed parser with pip.
$ sudo pip install feedparser
And this is the main body. I'm getting it from picasa.
get_cat.py
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import feedparser
import urllib
import os
def download_picture(q, count=10):
u"""Fetch count images of q."""
count = str(count)
feed = feedparser.parse("https://picasaweb.google.com/data/feed/base/all?q=" + q + "&max-results=" + count)
pic_urls = []
for entry in feed['entries']:
url = entry.content[0].src
if not os.path.exists(os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), q)):
os.mkdir(os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), q))
urllib.urlretrieve(url, os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), q, os.path.basename(url)))
print('download:' + url)
if __name__ == "__main__":
download_picture("cat", 10)
