Try It Out
Create This Screenshot
Install via npm or GitHub
npm install screenshotscloud
Or if you prefer yarn
yarn add screenshotscloud
Once installed you can generate screenshot urls as follows:
const ScreenshotsCloud = require('screenshotscloud');
const SCREENSHOTSCLOUD_KEY = 'my-key-generated-at-screenshots-dot-cloud';
const SCREENSHOTSCLOUD_SECRET = 'mysecretstringgeneratedatscreenshotsdotcloud';
const screenshotscloud = ScreenshotsCloud(SCREENSHOTSCLOUD_KEY, SCREENSHOTSCLOUD_SECRET);
const screenshotUrl = screenshotscloud.screenshotUrl({
"url": "openai.com/research",
"width": 800
});If you wish to download the image the simplest method would be to use a http client such as request or the built in http library. Example below:
// make sure to npm install request or yarn add request to your project first
const request = require('request');
// ...previous code from above example
request.get(screenshotUrl, {encoding: 'binary'}, function(error, response, imageBody) {
let screenshotResult = imageBody;
// if you want to save it to disk
require('fs').writeFileSync('screenshot.png', screenshotResult, 'binary');
