Scrape photo URLs

[lkdmid]

It'd be pretty handy to return a list of property photo URLs, or at least the primary/featured photo URL, e.g: https://media.rightmove.co.uk/64k/63334/85611534/63334_11482068_IMG_00_0000.jpeg

Agreed could be interesting. I don't have the bandwidth to look at this right now but if you want to submit a PR I could review and merge.

I'd be interested in this, I'll take a look at it at some point and see if I can submit a PR

I'm currently making a 2nd request, which obviously isn't ideal, but here's how I'm extracting the primary image via xpath. Hope it helps.

def _get_image(self, page_html):
        image_url = page_html.html.xpath(
            '//*[@id="root"]/main/div/article/meta', first=True
        )

        try:
            return image_url.attrs["content"]

        except AttributeError:
            return "https://via.placeholder.com/450x300.png?text=No+Image!"
