Browshot has some unique features that make it a good tool to track advertising on websites. Browshot can show the list of files (Javascript, iframes, images, etc.) contained on a page, and acts as a neutral third party.
Don't hesitate to contact us for any custom project.
You can customize the request which is sent to the target page for the screenshot. You can include any POST Data, like you were sending a form.
For example, to take a screenshot of your Browshot dashboard at https://app.browshot.com/, you must be logged in. To login, fill out the login form with your username and password. Let's say your username is foo and password is bar. Pass this value to post_data:
username=foo&password=bar
$browshot->create_screenshot(url => 'https://app.browshot.com/login', post_data => 'username=foo&password=bar'); # Full API
$browshot->simple(url => 'https://app.browshot.com/login', post_data => 'username=foo&password=bar'); # Simple API$browshot->screenshot_create('https://app.browshot.com/login', array('post_data' => 'username=foo&password=bar')); // Full API
$browshot->simple('https://app.browshot.com/login', array('post_data' => 'username=foo&password=bar')); // Simple APIFrom the command line, URL-encode the post_data value: & becomes %26, = becomes %3d, etc.:
wget "https://api.browshot.com/api/v1/simple?url=https://app.browshot.com/login&post_data=username%3dfoo%26password%3dbar&key=my_api_key" -O /tmp/dashboard.pngYou can set a custom HTTP referrer with the referer parameter. This is supported for paid screenshots (premium and private instances) only.
