Doesn't scrape images from page

[dineshbvadhia]

Installed ImageScraper with pip and pointed it to https://www.wikiart.org/en/recently-added-artworks and the response was:

C:\Users\Think\VM\aml-1.6\dev>image-scraper -s C:\Users\Think\VM\watest\images https://www.wikiart.org/en/recently-added-artworks

ImageScraper

Requesting page.... Sorry, no images found.

Do you know what the problem is?

ImageScraper does not scrape images if they are injected into the html runtime. It looks like that's whats happening in the mentioned website

@dineshbvadhia have you tried using the --injected option?

Had to install selenium which is not listed in requirements.txt but still not working.

C:\Users\Think\VM>image-scraper -s C:\Users\Think\VM\watest https://www.wikiart.org/en/recently-added-artworks --injected

The documentation is not very clear about this. I think you have to have PhantomJS installed and in your PATH.
