IOS – How to download all PNGs on a page with iOS Workflow

automationios

I want to save all of the PNGs from this goofy website so I can turn them into a PDF. I thought I'd use Workflow for iOS, which I've never used before.

I get the contents of this page and then get all the links

Get Contents of URL
|> Get URLs from Input
|> Quick Look

But, when I want to filter or match those URLs for PNGs, I get weird applewebdata:// URLs, like

applewebdata://{guid}/path/to/PNG

I am currently using iOS and trying to make Workflow (or something similar) work for this task. Thanks for the other suggestions, but they won't work for me!

You're so close! The key missing piece here is using the Get Contents of Web Page action instead of Get Contents of URL. If you simply swap that action in, everything should work as you were expecting it to, and you can use the simpler solution you referenced in your answer.

Here is a working example:

Get Contents of Web Page
|> Get URLs from Input
|> Get Contents of URL
|> Filter Images Where: File Extension is 'png', Sort by Name, Order A to Z
|> Make PDF
|> Set Name: Workflow Input Name
|> Quick Look
|> Save File
