Hello, I am fairly new to wget, but I am trying to write my own script. The script should get the first picture from google image based on a searh term.

I use the following:

Code: Select all

wget -U chrome -O test.jpg http://images.google.com/images?q=hotdog\&as_filetype=jpg

It does download a file, but not an image. It appears to be the html file?

Can any one help?

This is the log from one of my tries:

I suggest it is probably your search url that is wrong - if I plug that url straight into a browser I get a Google image search page back with a number of images, not a single .jpg which is what you seem to be expecting. That would explain you getting html as the source of the page.

You're right.. Do you have any idea how you get the first picture?
