How to parse data-uri in python?

by

Split the data URI on the comma to get the base64 encoded data without the header. Call base64.b64decode to decode that to bytes. Last, write the bytes to a file.

from base64 import b64decode

data_uri = "data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGg..."

# Python 2 and <Python 3.4
header, encoded = data_uri.split("base64,", 1)
data = b64decode(encoded)

# Python 3.4+
# from urllib import request
# with request.urlopen(data_uri) as response:
#     data = response.read()

with open("image.png", "wb") as f:
    f.write(data)
