hey everyone, so basically what i'm trying to do is download an image (jpeg) from a blob url eg. “blob:https://example.com/df8119f0-ebf8-463f-a7dc-21b430e105c9”
from what i've read apparently blob urls are created by the browser so i'm not sure if its possible to get and download the image with python requests.
thanks!

Remember to:

  • Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
  • Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
  • Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

no, they're in memory. though it depends on how those blobs are created. it might just come from somewhere else that you could extract instead, but I wouldn't hope on it.

hmm do you think using selenium to get it would work?
