Daaaang, this is such an elegantly simple way to get web screenshots with a cli. I was literally up and running with two commands on my arch linux machine (which it warned was unsupported by playwright).
pip install shot-scraper # Now install the browser it needs: shot-scraper install shot-scraper waylonwalker.com shot-scraper https://datasette.io/ shot-scraper https://datasette.io/ -h 1280 -w 1920 shot-scraper https://datasette.io/ -h 480 -w 720 shot-scraper shot --selector '#posts' https://thoughts.waylonwalker.com/post/89
Note
shot-scraper https://datasette.io/is a full length screenshot of the entire page.
Oh and its pretty dang fast, let alone the setup time, this crushes on startup time in my attempts to use a headless browser in the past.
