storeImage - Selenium IDE
storeImage (target, file name) - new Selenium IDE command
The storeImage command is useful to store a screenshot of the page element. It is an easy method for web scraping images from HTML text and tables.Its advantage is that it works almost always. The disadvantage is that because we take a screenshot of the image as it is displayed in the browser, we might miss a high-resolution version of this image if there is one.
If you need the extract text from the HTML source code directly use sourceExtract.
For more information about data extraction in general see Web Scraping with Selenium IDE.
To automatically take a screenshot of the complete website, see the captureEntirePageScreenshot command.
