(Sorry for bad English) I'm trying to get an image from https://thiscatdoesnotexist.com/ , but none of the solutions didn't work, because I couldn't find any url referring to JPG file. Tried to use this code, which expectably failed:

import requests

url = 'https://thiscatdoesnotexist.com/thiscatdoesnotexist.jpg'

img_data = requests.get(url).content
with open('image_name.jpg', 'wb') as handler:
    handler.write(img_data)

got an error:

  • Are you sure the url is correct? Check the status code. You could also take a look at [this](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13137817/how-to-download-image-using-requests) – Grebtsew Oct 25 '19 at 15:58
  • Oh, url is really incorrect, I was just playing around with it, and forget to delete 'thiscatdoesnotexist.jpg' part. An error appears even if I call this code on root URL – KalYmGg 3 Oct 25 '19 at 16:07

    The problem is that they check your user agent and deny any requests that look automated (they don't want you scraping them). You need to fake a user agent (I just tried and it works). – Carcigenicate Oct 25 '19 at 16:12
  • Not sure if you've already finished, but I had some fun writing up a simple bulk scraper. [Here](https://gist.github.com/carcigenicate/5db85e90c519eef30fa51b1a07279cb5) if you want it. – Carcigenicate Oct 25 '19 at 16:49
