I want to downloads images frp, multiple URLs from a column in a csv file and store it in a folder in my computer

I tried this does not work and give me errors:

import urllib.request
import csv
import os

with open('booklogo.csv') as csvfile:
    reader = csv.DictReader(csvfile)
    
    for row in reader:
        name, ext = os.path.splitext(row['link'])
        title_filename = f"{row['title']}{ext}".replace('/', '-')
        urllib.request.urlretrieve(row['link'], title_filename)

name, ext = os.path.splitext(row['link'])

this splits the URL and assigns the extension to ext. but the URLs ( atleast those in image ) does not have an extension so ext is empty.

try this

import urllib.request
import csv
import os

with open('booklogo.csv') as csvfile:
    reader = csv.DictReader(csvfile)
    
    for row in reader:
        print(row)
        if row["link"] != '' and row["title"] != '':
            name, ext = os.path.splitext(row['link'])
            if ext == '':
                ext = ".png"
            title_filename = f"{row['title']}{ext}".replace('/', '-')
            urllib.request.urlretrieve(row['link'], title_filename)
