SpecterJS

THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS

SpecterJS is a scriptable headless browser with Internet Explorer bindings. SpecterJS aims to provide full API compatibility with PhantomJS.

SpecterJS is suitable for:

• Website testing
• Page automation
• Screen capture
• Web scraping
• Network monitoring
• etc.

Usage

Example:

> specterjs example.js

var page = require('webpage').create();
var url = 'http://www.google.com/';

page.viewportSize = {
  width: 800,
  height: 600
};

console.log("Loading web page: " + url);
page.open(url, function (status) {
  console.log("Rendering page to screenshot.png");
  page.render("screenshot.png");
  phantom.exit();
});

For more examples please visit phantomjs.org/examples/. For command-line options refer to the compatibility table below.
