Capture Types

Scott Behrens edited this page Jul 30, 2014 · 1 revision

Sketchy is capable of grabbing three types of captures from a provided url. These types are automatically created each time you make a capture request to the Sketchy API.

Sketch

A sketch is a screenshot taken with PhantomJS of the url specified in the request. The PhantomJS script is configured to wait for Ajax requests to load, in order to ensure your screenshot is complete.

Scrape

A scrape pulls the dom for the provided URL, strips out html and scripts, and presents you with a body of text.

HTML

A html provides you with the full html file generated for the provided url.
