| shot-scraper | A command-line utility for taking automated screenshots of websites | [] | # shot-scraper [](https://pypi.org/project/shot-scraper/) [](https://github.com/simonw/shot-scraper/releases) [](https://github.com/simonw/shot-scraper/actions?query=workflow%3ATest) [](https://github.com/simonw/shot-scraper/blob/master/LICENSE) A command-line utility for taking automated screenshots of websites For background on this project see [shot-scraper: automated screenshots for documentation, built on Playwright](https://simonwillison.net/2022/Mar/10/shot-scraper/). ## Documentation - [Full documentation for shot-scraper](https://shot-scraper.datasette.io/) - [Tutorial: Automating screenshots for the Datasette documentation using shot-scraper](https://simonwillison.net/2022/Oct/14/automating-screenshots/) - [Release notes](https://github.com/simonw/shot-scraper/releases) ## Get started with GitHub Actions To get started without installing any software, use the [shot-scraper-template](https://github.com/simonw/shot-scraper-template) template to create your own GitHub repository which takes screenshots of a page using `shot-scraper`. See [Instantly create a GitHub repository to take screenshots of a web page](https://simonwillison.net/2022/Mar/14/shot-scraper-template/) for details. ## Quick installation You can install the `shot-scraper` CLI tool using [pip](https://pip.pypa.io/): pip install shot-scraper # Now install the browser it needs: shot-scraper install ## Taking your first screenshot You can take a screenshot of a web page like this: shot-scraper https://datasette.io/ This will create a screenshot in a file called `datasette-io.png`. Many more options are available, see [Taking a screenshot](https://shot-scraper.datasette.io/en/stable/screenshots.html) for details. ## Examples - The [shot-scraper-demo](https://github.com/simonw/shot-scraper-demo) repository uses this tool to capture recently spotted owls in El Granada, CA according to [this page](https://www.owlsnearme.com/?place=127871), and to generate an annotated screenshot illustrating a Datasette feature as described [in my blog](https://simonwillison.net/2022/Mar/10/shot-scraper/#a-complex-example). - The [Datasette Documentation](https://docs.datasette.io/en/latest/) uses screenshots taken by `shot-scraper` running in the [simonw/datasette-screenshots](https://github.com/simonw/datasette-screenshots) GitHub repository, described in detail in [Automating screenshots for the Datasette documentation using shot-scraper](https://simonwillison.net/2022/Oct/14/automating-screenshots/). - Ben Welsh built [@newshomepages](https://twitter.com/newshomepages), a Twitter bot that uses `shot-scraper` and GitHub Actions to take screenshots of news website homepages and publish them to Twitter. The code for that lives in [palewire/news-homepages](https://github.com/palewire/news-homepages). - [scrape-hacker-news-by-domain](https://github.com/simonw/scrape-hacker-news-by-domain) uses `shot-scraper javascript` to scrape a web page. See [Scraping web pages from the command-line with shot-scraper](https://simonwillison.net/2022/Mar/14/scraping-web-pages-shot-scraper/) for details of how this works. | Simon Willison | text/markdown | https://github.com/simonw/shot-scraper | Apache License, Version 2.0 | https://pypi.org/project/shot-scraper/ | https://pypi.org/project/shot-scraper/ | {"CI": "https://github.com/simonw/shot-scraper/actions", "Changelog": "https://github.com/simonw/shot-scraper/releases", "Homepage": "https://github.com/simonw/shot-scraper", "Issues": "https://github.com/simonw/shot-scraper/issues"} | https://pypi.org/project/shot-scraper/1.0.1/ | ["click", "PyYAML", "playwright", "click-default-group", "pytest ; extra == 'test'", "cogapp ; extra == 'test'", "pytest-mock ; extra == 'test'"] | >=3.7 | 1.0.1 | 0 |
