If you are on macOS try MyDataMerge (https://mydatamerge.com) There's a (reduced) free version. It's capable of doing data merges with image URLs (will download the images for you). Additionally you can setup image alignment and fitting per image frame individually.

I wrote a simple VBA program in Excel which

1 Goes though all picture links, extracts the names of the pictures and downloads them to a local folder

2 Changes all links to point to the local versions

3 Saves the resulting file as a csv-file, ready to be imported in InDesign
