I have the following URL:
url = http://photographs.500px.com/kyle/09-09-201315-47-571378756077.jpg
I would like to extract the file name in this URL: 09-09-201315-47-571378756077.jpg
Once I get this file name, I'm going to save it with this name to the Desktop.
filename = **extracted file name from the url**
download_photo = urllib.urlretrieve(url, "/home/ubuntu/Desktop/%s.jpg" % (filename))
After this, I'm going to resize the photo, once that is done, I've going to save the resized version and append the word "_small" to the end of the filename.
downloadedphoto = Image.open("/home/ubuntu/Desktop/%s.jpg" % (filename))
resize_downloadedphoto = downloadedphoto.resize.((300, 300), Image.ANTIALIAS)
resize_downloadedphoto.save("/home/ubuntu/Desktop/%s.jpg" % (filename + _small))
From this, what I am trying to achieve is to get two files, the original photo with the original name, then the resized photo with the modified name. Like so:
09-09-201315-47-571378756077.jpg
rename to:
09-09-201315-47-571378756077_small.jpg
How can I go about doing this?
You can use urllib.parse.urlparse with os.path.basename:
import os
from urllib.parse import urlparse
url = "http://photographs.500px.com/kyle/09-09-201315-47-571378756077.jpg"
a = urlparse(url)
print(a.path) # Output: /kyle/09-09-201315-47-571378756077.jpg
print(os.path.basename(a.path)) # Output: 09-09-201315-47-571378756077.jpg
Your URL might contain percent-encoded characters like %20 for space or %E7%89%B9%E8%89%B2 for "特色". If that's the case, you'll need to unquote (or unquote_plus) them. You can also use pathlib.Path().name instead of os.path.basename, which could help to add a suffix in the name (like asked in the original question):
from pathlib import Path
from urllib.parse import urlparse, unquote
url = "http://photographs.500px.com/kyle/09-09-2013%20-%2015-47-571378756077.jpg"
urlparse(url).path
url_parsed = urlparse(url)
print(unquote(url_parsed.path)) # Output: /kyle/09-09-2013 - 15-47-571378756077.jpg
file_path = Path("/home/ubuntu/Desktop/") / unquote(Path(url_parsed.path).name)
print(file_path) # Output: /home/ubuntu/Desktop/09-09-2013 - 15-47-571378756077.jpg
new_file = file_path.with_stem(file_path.stem + "_small")
print(new_file) # Output: /home/ubuntu/Desktop/09-09-2013 - 15-47-571378756077_small.jpg
Also, an alternative is to use unquote(urlparse(url).path.split("/")[-1]).
