I am trying to download a file using download.file
download.file("https://cdn.countryflags.com/download/china/flag-png-xl.png", "x.png")
But it is not working. The file is located in https://www.countryflags.com/en/china-flag-image.html Thanks
But when I put
https://cdn.countryflags.com/download/china/flag-png-xl.png
As a url for my webrowser, I dont get a single image, I get redirected to a page full of flags, I would guess that download.file() experiences the same
Try to open the url
I think you are saying that you agree with me.
Yes ..... totally agree. I am wondering if rvest package can help me... since I want to download all flags
maybe try a different service
