Kevin Wells has released a new application, called Webshot, which aims to take screen grabs of web pages. However, what it doesn’t do is simply save the screen (or browser window), which you could achieve anyway using Paint’s snapshot facility, or a third party application such as Snapper.
Instead, you give it the address of the page you want a snapshot of, and using Wget, Webshot sends that information off to the application programmer interface of a website called Screenshot API, and what the site feeds back is an image in PNG format of how that page looks in the latest Chrome browser.
There are options that can be set to control the size of the resulting image, and whether it will include the whole page, and the program (and its documentation) supports a number of languages.
Please note that you will need to register with Screenshot API in order to obtain a code (an API key) to feed into Webshot.
If you find any of Kevin’s software useful, why not consider rewarding him for it by buying some merchandise or with a small contribution.
