Screenshot as a service with phantomJS headless browser
This is a small utility which makes a webservice to render the screenshot of any page. Credit goes to @trevordixon for his awesome express like router
- Assuming that you have phantomJs installed
git clone https://github.com/arunkjn/screenshot-service.git
cd screenshot-service
phantomjs server.js "YOUR_PORT_HERE"-
A server will start on your specified port, 8000 is the default port used.

- timeout = "timeout in milliseconds to allow the page to load" defaults to 1000ms
