nm-screenshot

small utility used by diff program to take screenshots and output some info I need

##install

#for me on windows 8.1, on ubuntu you can just install phantom first then standard npm install nightmare
npm install nightmare --python=C:\python27\python.exe --msvs_version=2013
npm install
sudo node src/appHost.js 

for resizing install imagemagick with apt-get, or download binaries for windows (google it)

sudo apt-get install imagemagick

##Better install On linux, clone and run npm install (might have to install phantomjs first to get nightmare working)

install forever

npm install forever -g

edit the base starter.sh and set the path to wherever you cloned (currently I have it cloned at /home/ubuntu/nm-screenshot/)

add a crontab

crontab -e

append with

@reboot /home/ubuntu/nm-screenshot/starter.sh

this starts forever on system reboot so we're always up and running

#How this works/ what it does

Starts webserver with 2 endpoints, all this thing does is take screenshots of website, and returns a key to get the image at a later time, and returns the actual url of the image (incase of redirects or w/e..basically so we know what url we're looking at)

POST /

Post some json with a url key to a url

####Request

POST / 
{ "url" : "http://play.google.com" }

####Response

{
	"url" : "https://play.google.com/store",
	"imageKey" : "54b1f7d8"
}

The response will be the url it actually took the screenshot of, the image key will be used to retreive the screenshot

GET /image?key=<imagekey>

Will just return the screenshot for whatever key you passed
