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
and try to copy url of any flage in png or jpg and paste in the browser... it won't work
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
