The helper function get_image_size may sometimes come handy if you need to know the size of the image. get_image_size takes a filename or a filelike object as input and outputs the width and height of the image. Hence the raw bytes of an image from the net can be wrapped in io.BytesIO and fed to get_image_size.

import io
import httpx
from logzero import logger
from bing_image_urls import get_image_size

url = "https://www.stgeorgeutah.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/blackbear.jpg"
try:
    resp = httpx.get(url)
    resp.raise_for_status()
except Exception as exc:
    raise SystemExit(exc)

print(get_image_size(io.BytesIO(resp.content)))
# (1797, 2696)

Most of the code in get_image_size is from imagesize_py. As soon as the PR about filelike object is merged to the main branch, the imagesize_py package will be included as a depdendant package.
