Load a Web Image from a URL into an Excel Worksheet with Node.js via C++

Load an Image from a URL into an Excel Worksheet

Aspose.Cells for Node.js via C++ provides a simple and easy way to load images from URLs into Excel Worksheets. This article explains downloading the image data into a stream and then inserting it into the worksheet using the Aspose.Cells API. Using this method, the images become a part of the Excel file and are not downloaded every time the worksheet is opened.

Sample Code

try {
const path = require("path");
const AsposeCells = require("aspose.cells.node");
const https = require("https");

const dataDir = path.join(__dirname, "data");
const filePath = path.join(dataDir, "webimagebook.out.xlsx");
const url = "https://www.aspose.com/Images/aspose-logo.jpg"; // Changed http to https

let objImage;

https.get(url, (res) => {
const chunks = [];

res.on("data", (chunk) => {
chunks.push(chunk);

There might be cases where you always want the updated image from a URL. To achieve this, you may follow the instructions given in the Insert a Linked Picture from Web Address article. By following this method, the image is loaded from the URL each time the worksheet is opened.
