I'm pretty new to python but I'm using the following script to download images from links that live in the attribute table of my layer.
import arcpy
import urllib.request
import os
# Set the workspace
arcpy.env.workspace = r"C:\workspace\GIS.gdb"
# Define the feature class and the fields
fc = r"C:\layer_zip.shp"
fields = ["image_url", "id"]
# Define the output directory
output_dir = r"C:\Users\download"
# Loop through each row in the feature class
with arcpy.da.SearchCursor(fc, fields) as cursor:
for row in cursor:
photo_url = row[0]
object_id = row[1]
# Construct the file name using the OBJECTID or another unique identifier
photo_filename = os.path.join(output_dir, f"{object_id}.jpg")
# Download the image from the URL and save it to the output directory
urllib.request.urlretrieve(photo_url, photo_filename)
print("Photos have been downloaded and saved.")
It will download several photos before I get this error message
URLError Traceback (most recent call last)

Any help is appreciated!
