Screen Scrapping Pictures

[ojsimon]

Hi,
I would like to be able to screenscrape a users choice of picture of amazon so basically what would happen is the user types in a product the script returns a picture of the product from amazon, could anyone give me any pointers on how to do this
Thanks

They throw a cover.gif over it so you cannot view it. Viewing the source of http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/images/B000NKAXJ0 leaves me with a .01 image but that will not work right.

Providing information on how to steal other people's images will get whoever answers banned from the forum so I don't expect anyone who does know how to steal images will tell you how to do it here.

but if i am an affiliate and i am using the images to draw traffic to their website so their would be a link in the image that would send them to amazon, is this still banned.
Thanks

Not quite. If you are an affiliate you are probably using a third party site like cj.com (commission junction) and they provide code snippets as iframes for things like this. I'm not 100% sure, but usually affiliates are always provided ways to display products.

if this is deffinately not possible how about getting the first google images image

Why not just ask Amazon for code to display their images?
