webshot-amqp

A message-oriented screenshot server using AMQP for communication, webshot for the screenshots, and Cloudinary for hosting.

Installation

npm install webshot-amqp

Dependencies

• An AMQP server, for example RabbitMQ
• phantomJS installed locally
• A cloudinary account

Usage

Configure the server in config.js, then:

node app.js

The server now listens for requests on the exchange and queue defined in config.js. When a message comes in, the server uses webshot to take a screenshot of the desired website, and streams the image to Cloudinary's CDN. When done, it publishes a message on the exchange and queue defined in config.js with relevant metadata, including the public URL under which the image can be found.

Consider using the module webshot-amqp-client to place requests and listen for arriving screenshots.
