Question

Image https://i.sstatic.net/S1BR2.png

import requests from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

r = requests.get("xxxxxxxxx")
soup = BeautifulSoup(r.content)

for link in links:
    if "http" in link.get('src'):
       print link.get('src')

I get the printed URL but don't know how to work with it.

You need to download and write to disk:

import requests
from os.path  import basename

r = requests.get("xxx")
soup = BeautifulSoup(r.content)

for link in links:
    if "http" in link.get('src'):
        lnk = link.get('src')
        with open(basename(lnk), "wb") as f:
            f.write(requests.get(lnk).content)

You can also use a select to filter your tags to only get the ones with http links:

for link in soup.select("img[src^=http]"):
        lnk = link["src"]
        with open(basename(lnk)," wb") as f:
            f.write(requests.get(lnk).content)
