capture-chrome

Capture screenshots using Chrome's new headless mode. This means it does not require a graphical environment / X server to run!

Also you don't even need to have Chromium or Chrome installed, this will fetch an up to date binary for you.

Example

Capture a 1024x768 screenshot of github.com:

const capture = require('capture-chrome')
const fs = require('fs')
 
capture({
  url: 'https://github.com/'
}).then(screenshot => {
  fs.writeFileSync(`${__dirname}/example.png`, screenshot)
  console.log('open example.png')
})

API

screenshot({ url, width = 1024, height = 768, wait = 0 })

Capture a screenshot of url, returns a Promise which resolves with a buffer.

Options:

• url Page url
• width Viewport width
• height Viewport height
• wait Time in ms to wait after the page finished loading all resources

Installation

With npm do:

npm install capture-chrome

CI

This project will work in CI environments like Travis and AppVeyor without any additional configuration. It fetches Chromium itself and doesn't need a X server to run.
