Sitesnap

Screenshot sites from the terminal. Uses Electron (Chromium) for rendering and capture.
Largely inspired by Electroshot.

What?

Basic cli site screenshotting utility.
Takes a screenshot of the desired site at the desired width, height and after a set delay.
Outputs a high quality retina jpg.

Installation

npm install -g sitesnap

Usage

sitesnap <url> <output.jpg> [--options]

If no --height is supplied, sitesnap will try to snap the full length of the page.

Run sitesnap --help for full list of options.

Example usage

Take a 500px wide retina screenshot of github.com, and save as githubscreenshot.jpg:
sitesnap http://github.com githubscreenshot --width 500

Take a 1200x1200 screenshot of newgrounds.com at 1x scale (non-retina) and 50% quality:
sitesnap http://github.com githubscreenshot --height 500 --quality 50 --scalefactor 1

Headless usage

To use sitesnap on a headless server you need some kind of display driver such as Xvfb.

# Install Xvfb and dependencies
apt-get update
apt-get install -y libgtk2.0-0 libgconf-2-4 libasound2 libxtst6 libxss1 libnss3 xvfb

# Start Xvfb and expose DISPLAY
Xvfb -ac -screen scrn 1280x2000x24 :9.0 & export DISPLAY=:9.0
