Browshot blog

We want to make the Browshot libraries easily available to all developers. After releasing the source code on github, the next step was to make the packages available in repositories: CPAN for Perl, Rubygems for Ruby, and PyPI for Python. You can use your standard tools to install the latest version of Browshot for your favorite language:

cpan WebService::Browshot

gem install browshot

pip install browshot

All packages are fully documented. Don't hesitate to contact us at dev@browshot.com if you have any question.

Extensive unit tests have been added to the Perl, Python and Ruby libraries. A couple of bugs have been found and fixed. make sure you have the latest version to take advantage of the API 1.2.

A test account has been created. It works like a real account except screenshots requests, new instances creations and new browser creations are not actually performed. Instead, a random existing screenshot and a random existing private instances are sent back.
