There is nothing native in PD that will fetch things from the internet,
only things to display the images. However, with the [shell] object you
could launch Bash scripts, Python or whatever else you feel like using
to scan websites and collect images. Then you could use PD to manipulate
what these scripts pull in for you. I'm sure if you Google around, you
can probably find some example scripts which do the kind of
web-spidering you want.
best,
derek
