Need to get the first image link with Python

Question

I need to get the link of the first photo from the link "https://www.balticshipping.com/vessel/imo/9127382" using Python.

I am testing with the BeautifullSoup library but there is no way to get it. From what I see, the image is not in JPG or PNG format, therefore, it does not detect it.

from urllib.request import urlopen
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import re

html = urlopen('https://www.balticshipping.com/vessel/imo/9127382')
bs = BeautifulSoup(html, 'html.parser')
images = bs.find_all('img', {'src':re.compile('.png')})
for image in images: 
    print(image['src']+'\n')

Does anyone have any ideas how to do it?

The data you see are loaded via Ajax from external source. You can use this example how to get the picture URLs:

import json
import requests


url = "https://www.balticshipping.com/vessel/imo/9127382"
vessel_id = url.split("/")[-1]

data = {
    "templates[]": [
        "modal_validation_errors:0",
        "modal_email_verificate:0",
        "r_vessel_types_multi:0",
        "r_positions_single:0",
        "vessel_profile:0",
    ],
    "request[0][module]": "ships",
    "request[0][action]": "list",
    "request[0][id]": "0",
    "request[0][data][0][name]": "imo",
    "request[0][data][0][value]": vessel_id,
    "request[0][sort]": "",
    "request[0][limit]": "1",
    "request[0][stamp]": "0",
    "request[1][module]": "top_stat",
    "request[1][action]": "list",
    "request[1][id]": "0",
    "request[1][data]": "",
    "request[1][sort]": "",
    "request[1][limit]": "",
    "request[1][stamp]": "0",
    "dictionary[]": ["countrys:0", "vessel_types:0", "positions:0"],
}

data = requests.post("https://www.balticshipping.com/", data=data).json()

# uncomment to print all data:
# print(json.dumps(data, indent=4))

for g in data["data"]["request"][0]["ships"][0]["data"]["gallery"]:
    print(g["file"])

Prints:
