snapurl

DESCRIPTION:

This is a Ruby/RubyCocoa port of the webkit2png.py script by Paul Hammond (www.paulhammond.org/webkit2png/) with some minor modifications.

FEATURES/PROBLEMS:

  • OS X only.

  • Requires RubyCocoa (Leopard will already have this installed)

  • Requires Ruby 1.8.7 (Ruby 1.9.x wont play with RubyCocoa)

SYNOPSIS:

Just pass a list of URLs to the snapurl script and it will take a snapshot of the pages found in those URLs:

$ snapurl http://artists.gawker.com/                  # takes a snapshot of gawker artists
$ snapurl http://io9.com/ http://artists.gawker.com/  # ... and io9 websites.

By default snapurl generates a set of files per URL that it processes: thumbnail, clipped, and full sized 
view of the web pages in PNG format.

REQUIREMENTS:

  • OS X

  • Ruby 1.8.7

  • RubyCocoa
