Screenshot as a service with phantomJS headless browser

This is a small utility which makes a webservice to render the screenshot of any page. Credit goes to @trevordixon for his awesome express like router

Usage

• Assuming that you have phantomJs installed

git clone https://github.com/arunkjn/screenshot-service.git
cd screenshot-service
phantomjs server.js "YOUR_PORT_HERE"

• A server will start on your specified port, 8000 is the default port used.

• You can send a POST request now to YOUR_IP:PORT with the following options and get back a base64 encoded png image

  • url = "some_url" This parameter is required
  • timeout = "timeout in milliseconds to allow the page to load" defaults to 1000ms
  • width = "width of browser window" defaults to 1366px
  • height = "height of browser window" defaults to 768px

screenshot-service's Issues

Error in parsing width & height

your service always uses default width & height due error in parsing code. See goodylabs@0f647fc for details
