Convert HTML image to PNG image

Hello,

Does Alteryx has a capability to save .png images? I have a python code that converts HTML url image to PNG image. When I tried to run it in Alyterx using "run command" tool, it didn't work. The error said "Either an Output connection or Input connection is required."

Thank you,

knozawa

For some reason the "Run Command" tool always expects to process input. There are two workarounds would be (1) just to feed it some dummy input, or (2) to use the R tool instead: the R "system()" command will execute your command line on the system. This works well when executing a command that does not pass anything to/from Alteryx.

Hope that helps!

Hi JohnJPS,

Thank you for your message. I actually have an excel input that includes HTML url. Convert HTML to PNG.png

However, it still says either an output connection or input connection is required. The code works outside of Alteyrx, but I wanted to automate this process in Alteryx. I am not sure how to output .png images from Alteryx.

Sincerely,

knozawa

@knozawa Alteryx has some ability to work with png files. What is it that you want Alteryx to do with them?

Are you able to share your workflow so far so we can take a look?

@AdamR_AYX,

I would like to convert url image to png image with id numbers. I am getting twitter user url image and user_id using twitter API. I would like to automate this process in Alteryx. I would like to embed user id to png image as well.

I attached a workflow.

Sincerely,

Kazumi
