Gents, would you please help me to create a script?

That's what the "insert from URL" script step is for.

But we'd have to know more about what the source URL / web site does or allows to help you better.

Hi Wim,

the source URL points directly to the picture of the product. If you follow the link you'll get the picture itself.

Here is the link: https://www.donballon.ru/upload/storage/catalog/large/656265/ebeceb21_6546_11e6_9617_005056c00008.jpg

If your URL points directly to the image, then you can simply use the Insert From URL[] script step to insert the image into your container field.

please, check my script:

 

 

 

 

Your loop will always stay on the first record because of line 2.  That line needs to move to before the Loop step

doesn't work as expected:

 

Do a quick test to verify that the file is actually a picture:

- right-click the container and do "export field contents" and save it with the proper extension that you know it is (jpg? png?)

- inspect the file in your OS, open it

- if it is a picture then right-click the container again and choose "insert picture" and select your file

if this all works then you have your routine to script:

- use the "insert from URL" to insert into a *global* container

- use the 'export field contents' script step to the temporary folder using a placeholder file name

- use the "insert picture" script step to grab the file back and insert it into the proper destination container

Wim

it's not a picture, I don't know why. Though, the link says it's a picture.

Any ideas?

None.

Except that in general terms grabbing assets from a URL like this isn't a good way to integrate.  Does the site have an API that will give you the data in a proper form?

Well, how can check if it does?

You check on their website and/or you ask the website owner.

It works as expected with the link you posted above. If it doesn't work with another link, then post the URL.

 

that's what I get when use the link above. That's odd if you get a different result.
