How to display StackOverflow image in conky

Question

I want to display my StackOverflow flair on my conky. I tried downloading the image with curl and them displaying -

${exec curl -O https://stackoverflow.com/users/flair/1677096.png?theme=clean}
${image $HOME/1677096.png}

But it's not showing anything. It's just showing some empty space.
So how can I make it show my flair image? Image url - https://stackoverflow.com/users/flair/1677096.png

Answer 1

curl -O http://stackoverflow.com/users/flair/1677096.png?theme=clean will write what it downloads to stdout, which isn't what you want here. Try:

curl -o /home/svineet/1677096.png http://stackoverflow.com/users/flair/1677096.png?theme=clean.
