free ZP v4 template: yahoo images scraper with wget

[lupo]

This is just a example ZP v4 template which scrapes Images from Yahoo using external program wget - Windows version ... :cool:
If you need fresh images for your postings it could help.

You need wget program, you can get it from here: wget.

For using wget it's a good idea to use a simple config file (.wgetrc) where you can specify the User Agent and some other important parameters. You can get more info about wget config parameters from here:Wget Trick to Download from Restrictive Sites

The template get all parameters from one config file setup.txt: proxy;the URL for searching images;key words for search;the default install PATH to wget.exe;the number of images needed

Actually this template get only the URLs list from Yahoo, it downloads images from the original web sources.

This is not the only one way you can do this task ... :rolleyes:

P.S. I put a error counter because rear the template can't get the URLs list from the first time ... it happens rear
It can download up to 30 images (this number can be changed from the yahoo search filters), it can get some random image numbers and etc ...
