PyShot

A quick and easy to use handler around selenium/chromedriver to handle batch processing of input urls.

Installation

Pre-Req

Make sure to have the correct chromedriver. Correct means, it must be the same version as the installed Chrome on your machine/server. In Ubuntu you can check your version using

$ sudo apt-get upgrade google-chrome-stable
google-chrome-stable ist schon die neueste Version (83.0.4103.97-1).

So you need to download the correct version from here and than go like this:

wget https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/83.0.4103.39/chromedriver_linux64.zip
unzip chromedriver_linux64.zip
sudo mv chromedriver /usr/bin/chromedriver 

pip3 install selenium

Using pip

Will be available later

Install from repo

pip3 install git+https://github.com/cgi1/Pyshot/

Get Started

The normal behaviour is, that screenshots.py is reading from an input file (link_path) which contains one url per line. It than works through that list and generating screenshots to output_dir. The screenshots are saved as base64 encoded url to the output_dir to prevent problems with special characters in the original URL.

Development status

I started today writing a wrapper around these things and will develop it further when I need to adapt.
