Usage
Python API
import asyncio
from snapgrab import capture
async def main():
# Basic screenshot
result = await capture("https://example.com")
# Mobile viewport, full page
result = await capture("https://example.com", viewport="mobile", full_page=True)
# Dark mode, JPEG format
result = await capture("https://example.com", dark_mode=True, format="jpeg")
# Specific element
result = await capture("https://example.com", selector="#main-content")
# Custom viewport
result = await capture("https://example.com", viewport=(1440, 900))
asyncio.run(main())
CLI
snapgrab https://example.com # basic PNG
snapgrab https://example.com -v mobile -f # mobile, full page
snapgrab https://example.com --format jpeg -q 90 # JPEG quality 90
snapgrab https://example.com -s "#hero" --dark-mode # element + dark mode
snapgrab https://example.com -j # JSON output
snapgrab meta https://example.com # metadata only
