Download images from link

[rjanezic]

Hello All,

So basically I used the Spotify Web API to pull image links for all the artists in my playlist. Below is an example of one of the links. How would I go about using these links to automatically download the images to my computer. Thank you ahead of time.

Quite easily actually.

You can do this a number of ways but if you don't want to use the image at all in Alteryx I would use a formula tool to create a filepath for each of the images, with the .png/.jpg extension.

Then in the download tool configure the URL to be the link, and them in the options beneath, choose the 'to a file' option, and use said field just created.

If you need more guidance this blog by one of my colleagues gives some visual help.
