**KiddaC** · Feb 14th 2025

If any wants a quick sky uk picon scraper. Here is a very simple html/javascript file.
I have other means - but might be useful to some people

Copy it to a text editor. Save it as html file.
run it in a browser.

/0/0/ if you want the full size graphics.

HTML

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Image Viewer</title>
    <script>
        function loadImages() {
            var container = document.getElementById("imageContainer");
            container.innerHTML = "";
            
            for (var i = 1000; i <= 7500; i++) {
                var img = document.createElement("img");
                img.src = "https://d2n0069hmnqmmx.cloudfront.net/epgdata/1.0/newchanlogos/220/132/skychb" + i + ".png";
                img.alt = "Image " + i;
                img.style.margin = "5px";
                container.appendChild(img);
            }
        }

Or another one I just shared with abu baniaz using node.js instead.
This will downloaded them to your computer with the correct SNP name.
Again this is just a quick script for UK 28.2e.
It wont work with anything else.

Download node.js

https://nodejs.org/en

For testing I created a folder in my C:/ drive called "picon"

Then copy this code into a text editor (notepad++). And save it as downloadpicons.js

I just saved it in the folder I created above

Then just run this command in a command prompt

node downloadPicons.js

change the /0/0/ to what ever size you want. This is currently downloading the original size image.

if you want /220/132/ or /400/240/ etc just change it in the code.

Code

const fs = require("fs");
const https = require("https");
const path = require("path");

// Set output folder for picons
const outputFolder = "C:/picon";

// Ensure the folder exists
if (!fs.existsSync(outputFolder)) {
    fs.mkdirSync(outputFolder, { recursive: true });
}

// Service URLs
const serviceUrls = [
    "https://awk.epgsky.com/hawk/linear/services/4101/1",
    "https://awk.epgsky.com/hawk/linear/services/4104/50"
];

// Track active downloads
let activeDownloads = 0;

// Function to fetch JSON data from URL
function fetchJson(url) {
    return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
        https.get(url, (res) => {
            let data = "";
            res.on("data", (chunk) => { data += chunk; });
            res.on("end", () => {
                try {
                    const jsonData = JSON.parse(data);
                    resolve(jsonData);
                } catch (error) {
                    reject(`Error parsing JSON from ${url}: ${error}`);
                }
            });
        }).on("error", (err) => reject(`Request error: ${err.message}`));
    });
}

// Normalize and clean up the channel name
function sanitizeName(name) {
    return name
        .normalize("NFKD")  // Normalize accents
        .replace(/[^\w]/gi, "")  // Remove non-alphanumeric characters
        .replace(/&/g, "and")
        .replace(/\+/g, "plus")
        .replace(/\*/g, "star")
        .toLowerCase();
}

// Function to download picon for each service
async function downloadPicons() {
    let services = [];

    // Fetch and accumulate services data from both URLs
    for (const url of serviceUrls) {
        try {
            const data = await fetchJson(url);
            services = services.concat(data.services);
        } catch (error) {
            console.log(`⚠️ Error fetching service data: ${error}`);
        }
    }

    // Process each service
    for (const service of services) {
        const { sid, t } = service;

        // Skip if service doesn't have both sid and t
        if (!sid || !t) {
            continue;
        }

        const sanitizedChannelName = sanitizeName(t);
        const imageUrl = `https://d2n0069hmnqmmx.cloudfront.net/epgdata/1.0/newchanlogos/0/0/skychb${sid}.png`;
        const filePath = path.join(outputFolder, `${sanitizedChannelName}.png`);

        // Increment active downloads count
        activeDownloads++;

        // Download the picon
        https.get(imageUrl, (res) => {
            if (res.statusCode === 200) {
                const fileStream = fs.createWriteStream(filePath);
                res.pipe(fileStream);
                fileStream.on("finish", () => {
                    console.log(`✅ Downloaded: ${sanitizedChannelName}.png`);
                    // Decrement active downloads count once the download is complete
                    activeDownloads--;

                    // Exit if all downloads are finished
                    if (activeDownloads === 0) {
                        process.exit();
                    }
                });
            } else {
                console.log(`⚠️ Failed to download: ${sanitizedChannelName}.png`);
                // Decrement active downloads count on failure
                activeDownloads--;

                // Exit if all downloads are finished
                if (activeDownloads === 0) {
                    process.exit();
                }

            // Exit if all downloads are finished
            if (activeDownloads === 0) {
                process.exit();
            }
        });
    }
}

// Run the script
