Re: How to create screen capture of website

You could get a screenshot using selenium running in headless mode:

#!/usr/bin/env python
from selenium import webdriver
from pyvirtualdisplay import Display

display = Display(visible=0, size=(1366, 768))
display.start()
browser = webdriver.Firefox()
browser.get('http://www.google.com/')
browser.save_screenshot('screenshot.png')
browser.quit()
display.stop()

And you can scroll to different parts of the page using this:
driver.execute_script("window.scrollTo(x, y);") # specify x and y

I believe this code only works on Linux and you will need xvfb installed.

Hi,

I am sorry if this is the wrong place to ask this question.

But basically, I would like to create social bookmarking site in Django.

That is why I have this question "How do I create a png image of a website given url".

Would anyone give me a pointer as to how I can do this?

Thanks for your time in advance.
