webshot

A simple CLI tool to create screenshots from web pages in the terminal.

This tool uses the headless_chrome crate, which requires a local installation of Chrome or Chromium.

Information
This is the successor for my old tool zekroTJA/webshot, which uses puppeteer.

Usage

$ webshot --help
Simply screenshot websites from your terminal

Usage: webshot [OPTIONS] <URL>

Arguments:
  <URL>  URL of the web page to be captured

Options:
  -c, --config <CONFIG>      Path to a config file
  -o, --output <OUTPUT>      Output directory or file name
  -W, --width <WIDTH>        Screen width
  -H, --height <HEIGHT>      Screen height
  -s, --scale <SCALE>        Scale factor
      --wait-for <WAIT_FOR>  Wait for DOM element (query selector) [default: body]
  -h, --help                 Print help

Install

You can either download the latest release builds form the Releases page or you can install it using cargo install.

cargo install --git https://github.com/shellshape/webshot

Configuration

You can create a configuration to define some default parameters. The tool will look for a config file in one of the following locations.

	Local	Home Config
Linux	./webshot.*	$HOME/.config/webshot/config.*
Windows	.\webshot.*	%APPDATA%\webshot\config.*
OSX	./webshot.*	$HOME/Library/Application Support/webshot/config.*

Supported config types are the following.

• YAML (.yaml)
• TOML (.toml)
• JSON (.json)

An example config could look as following.

default_width = 1920
default_height = 1080
default_scale = 1.5
