I have an application that loads an image - the URL of the image however is dynamically generated.

The image URL would look like this (I get the image name through their API): http://openweathermap.org/img/w/10d.png

That URL is created in javascript - how would I make javascript actually get the image from that URL and return the .png so I could display it?

Would ajax be best for this? The solution would have be in regular javascript as the application displaying the image only allows for basic javascript.

Edit: This is for a digital signage solution - so I need to get the .png file into javascript where I will return ThePicture so the signage can display it appropriately. So unfortunately, just adding it to the/a DOM won't work.

  • It is not a duplicate because I don't need to insert it into a dom - I need to somehow get the image object - it's a digital signage solution, so I'm not displaying to a webpage (unfortunately). Commented Jun 15, 2017 at 15:24
  • Then Ajax would be useless … since that is a buzzword meaning "Making an HTTP request from a webpage without leaving the page." Commented Jun 15, 2017 at 15:24
  • Are you saying that you want to create an actual Image() Object then? Commented Jun 15, 2017 at 15:25

    @Hanny — You need to tell us about the JS environment you are running in. "Unspecified digital signage solution" isn't enough to go on. Commented Jun 15, 2017 at 15:30
