Grabshot

Mini API to create screenshots of websites and call back with the image data.

This was a breakable toy that I hacked together as a proof of concept. It's pretty hacky currently, but still pretty young...

Using

See here for documentation.

Running

Make sure you have PhantomJS (>= 1.9.0) installed.

OS X

On OS X, you can use Homebrew to install Phantomjs with brew install phantomjs.

Then, to run the application:

bundle install
bundle exec foreman start

Heroku

Deploy to Heroku

Then, just run heroku ps:scale worker=1 -a YOUR-APP-NAME to boot the workers.

Ruby Engine

Since, for now, the image capturing is done in Threads, using JRuby or Rubinius is advised.
