Tool for taking automated screenshots

Installation

Install this tool using pip:

pip install shot-scraper

The tool runs playwright using npx playwright, so your system will need to have npm configured in such a way that the following works:

npx playwright --help

Usage

This tool is configured using a YAML file. Create a file called shots.yml that looks like this:

- output: example.com.png
  url: http://www.example.com/
- output: w3c.org.png
  url: https://www.w3.org/

Then run the tool like so:

shot-scraper shots.yml

This will create two image files, example.com.png and w3c.org.png, containing screenshots of those two URLs.

The screenshots default to being 1280px wide and as long as needed to capture the full page.

Development

To contribute to this tool, first checkout the code. Then create a new virtual environment:

cd shot-scraper
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate

Or if you are using pipenv:

pipenv shell

Now install the dependencies and test dependencies:

pip install -e '.[test]'

To run the tests:

pytest
