Capture SDK

This package provides fluent SDK for the Capture server. Capture is a Node server on AWS that takes screenshots with a variety of options. This package requires access to a Capture server endpoint before it be used.

Requirements

• Laravel ^9.1
• PHP ^8.1
• Guzzle ^7.0
• Capture Server Endpoint

Capture Server

Why is the Capture server endpoint not included in the package? Capture is a private Node server that runs Puppeteer with a specific set of features that are used for our internal products. We do not publish the URL, as its not intended for public consumption. You may however deploy your own Capture server and endpoint.

Capture Server

Installation

Install via Composer

composer require actengage/capture-sdk

Publish the config file

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=capture-config

Set the endpoint URL in your ENV file.

CAPTURE_ENDPOINT=http://localhost:3000/

Basic Usage

use Actengage\Capture\Facades\Screenshot;

$response = Screenshot::make('https://google.com')->request();

Calls

Call allow you to execute methods on the Puppeteer page instance before the screenshot has been taken. This is a convenient way to execute a sequence of actions that are explicitly built into the server options (mainly for edge cases). The first argument is the method name, and all other arguments are passed to the method in Puppeteer.

use Actengage\Capture\Facades\Screenshot;

$response = Screenshot::make('https://google.com')
    ->call('$', 'header#nav > .logo')
    ->request();

Clipping

Clip a portion of an image using width, height, x, and y coordinates. There is no clipping by default.

use Actengage\Capture\DataTypes\Clip;
use Actengage\Capture\Facades\Screenshot;

$response = Screenshot::make('https://google.com')
    ->clip(new Clip(800, 600, 400, 300))
    ->request();

Encoding

Encoding changes how the response is composed, either using binary or base64. Defaults to binary.

use Actengage\Capture\DataTypes\Encoding;
use Actengage\Capture\Facades\Screenshot;

$response = Screenshot::make('https://google.com')
    ->encoding(Encoding::Binary)
    ->request();

Full Page

Take full page screenshots. Defaults to false.

use Actengage\Capture\Facades\Screenshot;

$response = Screenshot::make('https://google.com')
    ->fullPage(true)
    ->request();

Headers

Pass a custom headers that are included by Puppeteer in its HTTP request. Defaults to {"Accept-Language": "en-US"}.

use Actengage\Capture\DataTypes\Encoding;
use Actengage\Capture\Facades\Screenshot;

$response = Screenshot::make('https://google.com')
    ->header('Accept-Language', 'en-US')
    ->request();

Omit Background

This omits the black background for transparent PNG images. Defaults to true.

use Actengage\Capture\Facades\Screenshot;

$response = Screenshot::make('https://google.com')
    ->omitBackground(true)
    ->request();

Quality

The quality of image that is returned. Must be 1-100. Defaults to 100.

use Actengage\Capture\Facades\Screenshot;

$response = Screenshot::make('https://google.com')
    ->quality(100)
    ->request();

Timeout

The timeout of the Puppeteer request (in milliseconds). Defaults to 25000.

use Actengage\Capture\Facades\Screenshot;

$response = Screenshot::make('https://google.com')
    ->timeout(15000)
    ->request();

Type

The type of image that is returned, jpeg or png. Defaults to jpeg.

use Actengage\Capture\DataTypes\Type;
use Actengage\Capture\Facades\Screenshot;

$response = Screenshot::make('https://google.com')
    ->type(Type::PNG)
    ->request();

Viewport

The viewport dimensions. Defaults to {"width": 1200, "height": 800}.

use Actengage\Capture\DataTypes\Viewport;
use Actengage\Capture\Facades\Screenshot;

$response = Screenshot::make('https://google.com')
    ->viewport(new Viewport(1200, 800))
    ->request();

Wait Until

How long should Puppeteer wait before returning a response. Defaults to ['load', 'networkidle2'].

use Actengage\Capture\DataTypes\WaitUntil;
use Actengage\Capture\Facades\Screenshot;

$response = Screenshot::make('https://google.com')
    ->waitUntil([WaitUntil::Load, WaitUntil::NetworkIdle2])
    ->request();
