[FIXED] Select only certain images with Python image webscraper

Issue

I'm trying to create a simple webscraper in python that find, download and create a pdf of certain images found in the website. For now I only created the webscraping part of the code:

import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import numpy as np

url = 'website url'
page = requests.get(url)
print('=== website ===\n',url)
soup = BeautifulSoup(page.content, 'html.parser')

images = soup.find_all('img')

print('=== images found ===')

for img in images:
    if img.has_attr('src'):
        print(img['src'])

This is what I get:

=== website ===
 https://ita.net/stop-1/
=== images found ===

I specified "certain" because my code finds all the images in the site and displays them. However I want only the images that ends in 722x1024.jpg to be displayed (and so picked). Someone has any idea on how to do it?

Solution

First: you can use {'src': True} to get images which have src.

Because src is a string so you can use any string-functions - ie. .endswith()

images = soup.find_all('img', {'src': True})

for img in images:
    if img['src'].endswith('722x1024.jpg'):
        print(img['src']))

BeautifulSoup allows also to use function in find:

def check(src):
    return (src is not None) and src.endswith('722x1024.jpg')

images = soup.find_all('img', {'src': check})

for img in images:
    print(img['src'])

or with lambda

images = soup.find_all('img', {'src': lambda x: (x is not None) and x.endswith('722x1024.jpg')})

for img in images:
    print(img['src'])

It may also use regex

import re

images = soup.find_all('img', {'src': re.compile('722x1024.jpg$')})

for img in images:
    print(img['src'])

Minimal working example.

I search 0.jpg on books.toscrape.com created (by authors of module scrapy) specially to learn scraping.

(see also toscrape.com)

import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

url = 'https://books.toscrape.com/'

response = requests.get(url)

soup = BeautifulSoup(response.content, 'html.parser')

print('--- version 1 ---')

images = soup.find_all('img', {'src': True})

for img in images:
    if img['src'].endswith('0.jpg'):
        print(img['src'])

print('--- version 2 a ---')

def check(src):
    return (src is not None) and src.endswith('0.jpg')

images = soup.find_all('img', {'src': check})

for img in images:
    print(img['src'])

print('--- version 2 b ---')

images = soup.find_all('img', {'src': lambda x: (x is not None) and x.endswith('0.jpg')})

for img in images:
    print(img['src'])
    
print('--- version 3 ---')

import re

images = soup.find_all('img', {'src': re.compile('0.jpg$')})

for img in images:
    print(img['src'])    

Results:
