Ask HN: Best screenshot generation API?

[bigdicklouie]

I need an API to generate screenshots of web pages. I'll pass the URL, it'll return a screenshot, ideally nicely compressed.

I don't have much more knowledge about this than you probably have and I'm sure you did your own googling but just in case you missed this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4912092/using-html5-canv...

Suggested tool by best answer was this. https://github.com/niklasvh/html2canvas

We built our own using Chrome Headless and some python. This allows us to use a Tor proxy where required, capture full height screenshots, and dump the DOM.
