How to Create Snapshots using WordPress.com
WordPress.com has his unique app to create dynamic screenshots of websites.
It’s based on python and you can use it in your projects.
How does it work?
Create an image with the following source:
http://s.wordpress.com/mshots/v1/YOUR_URL?w=YOUR_WIDTH
You need to specify the desired URL and image width.
Please notice the app needs some time to generate the snapshot if it’s not generated already.
The first time you retrieve an URL you will see a loading gif like this:
Example
Important: the URL must be encoded using PHP’s function urlencode:
<img src="http://s.wordpress.com/mshots/v1/<?=urlencode('http://php.quicoto.com')?>?w=400" />
The full source with the encoded URL looks like this:
http://s.wordpress.com/mshots/v1/http%3A%2F%2Fphp.quicoto.com?w=422
Result
If you’re using this app, be nice, link to WordPress.com
