This package provides utility functions for working with images using the Picsum API. It includes functionalities to validate URLs, fetch image data, generate image URLs with various parameters, retrieve a list of image URLs, and save images to disk.

Features

• Validate URLs: Check if a given URL is valid.
• Fetch Image Data: Retrieve the binary content of an image from a URL.
• Generate Image URLs: Create URLs for fetching images from the Picsum API with various parameters.
• Fetch Image: Get an image from the Picsum API and its binary content.
• Retrieve Image List: Get a list of image URLs from the Picsum API.
• Save Image: Save an image to a specified path from either a URL or raw binary data.

Installation

You can install the package using pip. Make sure you have requests and urllib3 installed:

pip install requests urllib3

Usage

Validate URL

from image_utils import isValidUrl

url = "https://example.com/image.jpg"
print(isValidUrl(url))  # Output: True or False

Fetch Image Data

from image_utils import getImageBinary
url = "https://example.com/image.jpg"
binary_data = getImageBinary(url)

Generate Image URL

from image_utils import createUrl

url = createUrl(width=800, height=600, seed="example", blur=5, grayscale=True)
print(url)  # Output: Constructed URL with specified parameters

Fetch Image

from image_utils import getImage

image_url, binary_data = getImage(width=800, height=600, seed="example")
print(image_url)  # Output: Image URL

Retrieve Image List

from image_utils import getImageList

image_urls = getImageList(limit=10)
print(image_urls)  # Output: List of image URLs

Save Image

from image_utils import saveImage

image_url = "https://example.com/image.jpg"
# Or
image_url = "binary_image_data"
saveImage(imageDataOrUrl=image_url, path="path/to/directory", fileName="image", imageFormat="jpg")

Functions

isValidUrl(url: str) -> bool

Verifies if the provided URL is valid by checking if it contains a scheme and a host.

getImageBinary(url: str) -> bytes

Fetches the binary content of an image from a given URL.

createUrl(width: int, height: int, seed: str = None, picId: int = None, blur: int = None, grayscale: bool = False) -> str

Generates a URL for fetching images from the Picsum API with optional parameters.

getImage(width: int = 200, height: int = 200, seed: str = None, picId: int = None, blur: int = None, grayscale: bool = False) -> tuple

Fetches an image from Picsum API and returns both its URL and binary content.

getImageList(limit: int = 30) -> list

Retrieves a list of image URLs from the Picsum API based on the specified limit.

saveImage(imageDataOrUrl: str, path: str, fileName: str, imageFormat: str, secure: bool = True) -> None

Saves an image either from a URL or raw binary data to the specified path.

Notes

• Ensure that path in saveImage is a valid directory path.
• The secure flag in saveImage helps in warning about untested image formats
