Capturl is an npm package that returns a PNG or BASE64 image of any website by providing the url. It was created using Google's puppeteer.
Check the demo
Installation
$ npm install capturl
Usage
var capturl = require("capturl");
let image = await capturl([url], [option]);
[url]: link of the website to render
[options]:
- width: (number | default to 1920) width of the navigator's window used to render the website
- height: (number | default to 1080) height of the navigator's window used to render the website
- encoding: (enumeration png/base64 | default to PNG)
Example
var capturl = require("capturl");
let image = await capturl("https://www.google.com", {
width: 1920,
height: 1080,
encoding: "base64",
});
Or you can use it in your API if you need the result like:
[hostname]:[port]/api/screenshot?url=https://www.google.com
&width=1080&height=1080&encoding=png
app.get("/api/screenshot", async (req, res) => {
let image = await capturl(req.query.url, {
width: req.query.width,
height: req.query.height,
encoding: req.query.encoding,
});
res.set("Content-Type", "image/png");
res.send(image);
});
API
you can use the api directly:
