shot-scraper 1.11
— A CLI utility for taking screenshots of websites, recording video demos and scraping sites using JavaScript
Some minor improvements, mainly around command option consistency and making the server: mechanism used by both shot-scraper video and shot-scraper multi work if the server takes longer than a second to start serving traffic.
server:processes used byshot-scraper multiandshot-scraper videonow wait up to 30 seconds for the target URL to accept connections, polling for port availability and replacing the previous fixed one-second delay. #197- The
shot-scraper,html,accessibilityandharcommands now have a--js-fileoption for loading JavaScript from a local file, standard input orgh:username/script, as an alternative to--javascriptwhich accepts the string of JavaScript directly as an argument. #192shot-scraper multisupports the equivalentjs_file:YAML key.- The
shot-scraper javascriptandshot-scraper htmlcommands now have a--timeoutoption for consistency with other commands. #118
