Then would I just run a separate script that takes care of this task before I run Hugo, or is there something that would hook into Hugo so that I could run only one command?

One approach would be to use a scraper and store those images locally in your Hugo project and then reference these from the templates for resizing.

For reference since this page is ranked on search engines, it is now possible as stated in documentation: [image] Image processing Resize, crop, rotate, filter, and convert images.
