AutoScreenshot

Built to capture screenshots of a list of webpages in an automated fashion.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'auto_screenshot'

And then run:

bundle

Or install it yourself as:

gem install auto_screenshot

Options

URLs

An array of valid URLs. Pretty simple.

Folder

folder is where the screenshots will be saved. The default location is the screenshots folder based on where the program is run. But, the example below passes a specific folder path to save screenshots at.

client = AutoScreenshot::Screenshot.new(:folder => '/path/to/folder/')

Action Map

action_map is a ruby hash. each key of the hash is a full URL string and each key is a symbol. The symbol corresponds to a name of a method like wait. Here is an example:

action_map = {
  "http://example.com/page" => :wait
}

And a custom method could look like:

def wait
  sleep 10 # To allow you to login or something
end

Usage

AutoScreenshot saves screenshots of webpages as .png files in a folder. Create a Screenshot client and specify an array of URLs to capture.

Create a Client. Then set options.

client = AutoScreenshot::Screenshot.new #=> get a Screenshot object
client.urls = ["http://google.com, http://github.com"]
client.folder = "/custom/folder/path"
client.action_map = {
  "http://example.com/do-something-custom-at-this-url" => :custom_method
}

or

Create a Client with options.

client = AutoScreenshot::Screenshot.new(:urls => [], :folder => "/custom/folder/path", :action_map => {@url_string => :custom_method})
