How to Scrape and Batch‑Download High‑Resolution 王者荣耀 Images with Python

Project Background

王者荣耀 is a popular game, but its official site restricts direct download of high‑resolution character images due to copyright. This guide demonstrates how to scrape such images from the third‑party site www.netbian.com.

Project Goal

Automatically download the collected images in bulk.

Libraries and Target Site

Target URL: http://www.netbian.com/s/wangzherongyao/index.htm Key Python libraries: requests and lxml .

Project Analysis

Pagination URLs follow the pattern http://www.netbian.com/s/wangzherongyao/index_{}.htm, where the page number replaces {}. By iterating over page numbers, multiple pages can be fetched.

Implementation

1. Class Definition

import requests
from lxml import etree
import time

class ImageSpider(object):
    def __init__(self):
        self.firsr_url = "http://www.netbian.com/s/wangzherongyao/index.htm"
        self.url = "http://www.netbian.com/s/wangzherongyao/index_{}.htm"
        self.headers = {
            "User-Agent": "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_11_6) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/70.0.3538.77 Safari/537.36"
        }

    def main(self):
        pass

if __name__ == '__main__':
    spider = ImageSpider()
    spider.main()

2. Sending Requests

'''Send request and get response'''
def get_page(self, url):
    res = requests.get(url=url, headers=self.headers)
    html = res.content.decode("gbk")  # website encoding
    return html

3. Parsing Page Data

'''Parse data'''
def parse_page(self, html):
    parse_html = etree.HTML(html)
    image_src_list = parse_html.xpath('//div[@class="list"]/ul/li/a//@href')
    for image_src in image_src_list:
        fa = "http://www.netbian.com" + image_src
        # process each thumbnail page

4. Accessing Detail Pages

Open developer tools (F12), locate the link to the second‑level image page, and request it.

5. Extracting High‑Resolution URLs

bimg_url = parse_html1.xpath('//div[@class="pic-down"]/a/@href')
for i in bimg_url:
    diet = "http://www.netbian.com" + i
    html2 = self.get_page(diet)
    parse_html2 = etree.HTML(html2)
    url2 = parse_html2.xpath('//table[@id="endimg"]//tr//td//a/img/@src')

6. Saving Images

filename = parse_html2.xpath('//table[@id="endimg"]//tr//td//a/@title')
for e in filename:
    dirname = "./王者荣耀/" + e + '.jpg'
    img_data = requests.get(url=r, headers=self.headers).content
    with open(dirname, 'wb') as f:
        f.write(img_data)
    print("%s 下载成功" % e)

7. Main Loop

def main(self):
    startPage = int(input("起始页:"))
    endPage = int(input("终止页:"))
    for page in range(startPage, endPage + 1):
        if page == 1:
            url = self.firsr_url
        else:
            url = self.url.format(page)
        html = self.get_page(url)
        print("第%s页爬取成功！！！！" % page)
        self.parse_page(html)

Result Demonstration

Running the script prompts for the page range, then displays download success messages in the console. Downloaded images are saved locally, as shown in the screenshots.

Conclusion

• Avoid excessive crawling to reduce server load. • This Python web‑scraper provides a practical way to obtain high‑resolution 王者荣耀 images. • Users can modify the hero selection to set their own desktop wallpapers. • The full source code can be requested by replying with “王者荣耀”.
