websitemailer

This will take a screenshot of a website and send it to a set of email addresses. This can be useful for dashboards, or other frequently updating websites that you want to have automatically delivered to your inbox.

Description

To run the script, you can either use command line arguments, a configuration file, or a mix of both.

Installation

To install, simply run:

pip install websitemailer

Running

To run it by command line, run:

python -m websitemailer.main <cmd line args>

For example, this would take a screenshot of google.com and send it through smtp.gmail.com.:

python -m websitemailer.main -s smtp.gmail.com -u <smtp username> -p <smtp password> -r http://www.google.com -t <to email address> -f <from email address>

You can also use a config file. Note that the 'message' section can also have HTML markup.:

mailings: [{
   'to_emails': ['bcdotnotifications1@gmail.com'],
   'from_email': 'bcdotnotifications1@gmail.com',
   'subject': 'Test config subject1',
   'message': 'Test message1',
   'url': ['http://www.google.com']
   },
   {
   'to_emails': ['bcdotnotifications1@gmail.com'],
   'from_email': 'bcdotnotifications1@gmail.com',
   'subject': 'Test config subject2',
   'message': 'Test message2',
   'url': ['http://www.yahoo.com']
   }]

smtp-server: 'test_server_config'
smtp-username: 'test_username_config'
smtp-password: 'test_password_config'
chrome-bin: 'c:\testbin\config'

Testing

To run the test suite, run:

python -m tox -e py39 -- --email_username bcdotnotifications@gmail.com --email_password eV^5d97% --smtp_server smtp.gmail.com --pop_server pop.gmail.com

Sometimes, Gmail will reject the login from the tests. In that case, you need to log into the account, and then go to https://accounts.google.com/DisplayUnlockCaptcha
