Download First 10 Images Using Selenium in C# on Google Images URL

Question

I want to download first 10 images from the given Url stated in the following code of google images.. I have tried soo much ways but can't be able to download images because i got the wrong lengthy urls which seems to be junk data.

Here is my code as i am using C#,

var driver = new ChromeDriver();

driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("https://www.google.com/search?q=wallpapers+pics&tbm=isch&ved=2ahUKEwizlL6W6sLxAhUE_4UKHS_YBDEQ2-cCegQIABAA&oq=wallpapers+pics&gs_lcp=CgNpbWcQAzICCAAyAggAMgIIADICCAAyAggAMgIIADICCAAyAggAMgIIADICCAA6BwgAELEDEEM6BAgAEENQ3I8FWJ6YBWDsnQVoAHAAeACAAasCiAHYCZIBAzItNZgBAKABAaoBC2d3cy13aXotaW1nwAEB&sclient=img&ei=bjXeYLOlJ4T-lwSvsJOIAw&bih=802&biw=1707");

// These are commented three ways to select the list of images

    //IList<IWebElement> Imghref = driver.FindElements(By.XPath("//img[@jsname]"));

    //IList<IWebElement> Imghref = driver.FindElements(By.ClassName("rg_i"));

    //IList<IWebElement> Imghref = driver.FindElements(By.TagName("img"));

    IList<IWebElement> Imghref = driver.FindElements(By.ClassName("rg_i"));

    //BcuVif - n3VNCb     --- ClassNames which i have observed

    foreach (IWebElement eachLink in Imghref)
    {
        eachLink.Click();

        IWebElement Images = driver.FindElement(By.TagName("img"));
        //Console.WriteLine(Images.GetAttribute("class"));
        String ImageUrl = Images.GetAttribute("src");
        string ImageName = Images.GetAttribute("alt");
        Console.WriteLine("Image URL : " + ImageUrl);
        WebClient downloader = new WebClient();
        downloader.DownloadFile(ImageUrl, "D:\\VisualStudio Workspace\\Download-Images\\images\\" + ImageName + ".jpg");

    }

Kindly any possible fix .. this will be very much helpful for me.

Due to IT policy restrictions, I cannot use Selenium, try if this code can work for you.

       static void Main(string[] args)  
        {  
            List<string> ImageList = GetAllImages();  
            using (WebClient client = new WebClient())  
            {  
                for (int i = 1; i < ImageList.Count; i++)  
                {  
                    client.DownloadFile(new Uri(ImageList[i]), @"C:\Users\...\"+i+".jpg");  
                }  
            }  
        }  
  
        public static List<string> GetAllImages()  
        {  
            List<string> ImageList = new List<string>();  
            WebClient x = new WebClient();  
  
            string source = x.DownloadString(@"https://www.google.com.hk/search?q=wallpapers+pics&tbm=isch&ved=2ahUKEwizlL6W6sLxAhUE_4UKHS_YBDEQ2-cCegQIABAA&oq=wallpapers+pics&gs_lcp=CgNpbWcQAzICCAAyAggAMgIIADICCAAyAggAMgIIADICCAAyAggAMgIIADICCAA6BwgAELEDEEM6BAgAEENQ3I8FWJ6YBWDsnQVoAHAAeACAAasCiAHYCZIBAzItNZgBAKABAaoBC2d3cy13aXotaW1nwAEB&sclient=img&ei=bjXeYLOlJ4T-lwSvsJOIAw&bih=802&biw=1707");  
  
            HtmlAgilityPack.HtmlDocument document = new HtmlAgilityPack.HtmlDocument();  
  
            document.LoadHtml(source);  
  
            foreach (var link in document.DocumentNode.Descendants("img").Select(i => i.Attributes["src"]))  
            {  
                ImageList.Add(link.Value);  
            }  
            return ImageList;  
        }  
    }
