how to download image from any web page in java
// Do you want to download an image?
// But are u denied access?
// well here is the solution.
public static void DownloadImage(String search, String path) {
// This will get input data from the server
InputStream inputStream = null;
// This will read the data from the server;
OutputStream outputStream = null;
try {
// This will open a socket from client to server
URL url = new URL(search);
// This user agent is for if the server wants real humans to visit
String USER_AGENT = "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/56.0.2924.87 Safari/537.36";
// This socket type will allow to set user_agent
URLConnection con = url.openConnection();
// Setting the user agent
con.setRequestProperty("User-Agent", USER_AGENT);
// Requesting input data from server
inputStream = con.getInputStream();
// Open local file writer
outputStream = new FileOutputStream(path);
// Limiting byte written to file per loop
byte[] buffer = new byte[2048];
// Increments file size
int length;
// Looping until server finishes
while ((length = inputStream.read(buffer)) != -1) {
// Writing data
outputStream.write(buffer, 0, length);
}
} catch (Exception ex) {
Logger.getLogger(WebCrawler.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
}
// closing used resources
// The computer will not be able to use the image
// This is a must
outputStream.close();
inputStream.close();
}
If you want to save the image and you know its URL you can do this:
try(InputStream in = new URL("http://example.com/image.jpg").openStream()){
Files.copy(in, Paths.get("C:/File/To/Save/To/image.jpg"));
}
You will also need to handle the IOException
s which may be thrown.
try (URL url = new URL("http://www.yahoo.com/image_to_read.jpg")) {
Image image = ImageIO.read(url);
} catch (IOException e) {
// handle IOException
}
See javax.imageio
package for more info. That's using the AWT image. Otherwise you could do:
URL url = new URL("http://www.yahoo.com/image_to_read.jpg");
InputStream in = new BufferedInputStream(url.openStream());
ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
byte[] buf = new byte[1024];
int n = 0;
while (-1!=(n=in.read(buf)))
{
out.write(buf, 0, n);
}
out.close();
in.close();
byte[] response = out.toByteArray();
And you may then want to save the image so do:
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream("C://borrowed_image.jpg");
fos.write(response);
fos.close();
