Error scraping Amazon images

How to?
#1

Hello.

When I scan the images of Amazon products, some of them show the correct URL, but most of them show data like this:

data:image/jpeg;base64,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..........

This is a valid URL and it is a way of embedding images in HTML. Sites do this mainly for performance. You'd need some kind of post-processing to turn it back into jpg.

Thanks for reply.

I have tried to decode to image but it always gives error.

The funny thing is that if I make two scans to the same products, some where the image appeared in base64 then appear in the usual image format, and vice versa.
