[Python] How to download product images by SKU from a website using Python?

I have an Excel (or CSV) file with a list of product SKUs (like 1806B, 1911B, HR2470, etc.), and I would like to write a Python script that does the following:

1. Use each SKU to search for the product page on a specific website (for example: makita.hu).
2. Find and extract the main product image from that page.
3. Download the image and save it to a local folder as a .webp file.
4. The filename should be the SKU itself (e.g. 1806B.webp).

The product pages might follow a pattern like: https://www.makita.hu/?termek=1806B or require a search on the site.

What did I try?


I tried using Python with the requests and BeautifulSoup libraries to load the product page using the SKU (for example: 1806B), and then locate the <img> tag that contains the product image.

Here's my basic attempt:

import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

sku = "1806B"
url = f"https://www.makita.hu/?termek={sku}" # Not sure if this is the correct URL pattern
response = requests.get(url)
soup = BeautifulSoup(response.content, "html.parser")

img = soup.find("img")
print(img["src"])
