Website screenshots

Question

Is there any way of taking a screenshot of a website in PHP, then saving it to a file?

Answer 1

If you don't want to use any third party tools, I have come across to simple solution that is using Google Page Insight api.

Just need to call it's api with params screenshot=true.

For mobile site view pass &strategy=mobile in params,
