WebShot

WebShot is an easy-to-use CLI for taking screenshots of webpages. It is based on Rod.

Installation

1. go get github.com/gusanmaz/webshot

2. cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/gusanmaz/webshot

3. go install cmd/webshot.go

Usage

• Taking full webpage screenshot as an image

webshot -url https://www.atlasobscura.com -output atlas.png

• Taking full webpage screenshot with a specific width

webshot -url https://www.atlasobscura.com -width 800 -output atlas2.png

• Taking full webpage screenshot as a PDF file

webshot -url https://www.atlasobscura.com -type pdf -output atlas.pdf

Unfortunately for now fo most webpages PDF rendering produces mediocre results

• Taking full webpage screenshot as an HTML file

webshot -url https://www.atlasobscura.com -type html -output atlas.html

For now this command only outputs HTML content of the given URL. Other resources referenced in the URL such as images are not captured.

• Taking screenshot of an infinite scroll webpage

For infinite scroll webpages you need to specify screenshot height and use infinite flag with true value.

webshot -url https://www.flickr.com/search/?text=antalya -height 10000 -type image -output antalya.png -infinite true

You may also modify default values of stepheight and steptime flags. WebShot scrolls infinite page downwards stepheight pixels every steptime milliseconds.

webshot -infinite true -steptime 300 -stepheight 100 -url https://www.flickr.com/search/?text=winter -height 50000 -type image -output winter.png
