Save individual image files scraped from API

N4yana

My processing sketch currently grabs 16 images from the New York Times API and output them as a grid. I also want to save the individual images (not the canvas as a whole) as .jpgs within the folder but have been unsuccessful so far

Any help is much appreciated!

Thanks

String baseURL = "http://" + "api.nytimes.com/svc/topstories/v1/";
String baseURLend= ".json?api-key=d4503d73029e6b27fdf3615c1490c4d4:12:62206830";
String homeURL;
PImage home;

void setup(){
  size(840, 560);
  background(0);
  noStroke();
  fill(102);
getHome();
home = loadImage(homeURL, "jpg");
noLoop();
}

void draw(){

  image(home, 0, 0);
}

void getHome() {

String request = baseURL + "home" + baseURLend;
String result = join( loadStrings( request ), "");
//println( result );

JSONObject nytData = JSONObject.parse(result);
//println(nytData.getString("section"));

JSONArray docArray = nytData.getJSONArray("results");
JSONObject levelOne = docArray.getJSONObject(1);
//println (levelOne);
JSONArray multiMedia = levelOne.getJSONArray("multimedia");
//println (multiMedia);
JSONObject thumbLarge = multiMedia.getJSONObject(3);
//println (thumbLarge);
homeURL = thumbLarge.getString("url");
println(homeURL);
}

Hey,

Since you already store the image as a PImage, you can just use its save()-method.

home.save(dataPath("filename.jpg"));
