node-screencapture's Introduction

node-screencapture

Take a screenshot of your desktop interactively.

Available in OSX, Linux, FreeBSD and Windows.

var screencapture = require('screencapture')

screencapture(function (err, imagePath) {
  // then you have imagePath as png.
  //
  // When an user exits screencapture without taking a screenshot,
  // imagePath == null
})

You can specify an output file path.

screencapture('/path/to/output.png', function (err, imagePath) {
  // imagePath is '/path/to/output.png' or null
})

You can use env named CAPTURE_COMMAND for capture. This is formatted with %s for file path; CAPTURE_COMMAND="shutter -s -e -o %s".

Installation

npm install -g screencapture

In Linux, you need to install imagemagick.

node-screencapture's Issues

[question] Take screenshot silently

Hi, thanks for building this module,

I have a question regarding taking a snapshot silently, is it possible?

I am trying to build a time tracker which take snapshot randomly, and your module seems suitable for it

regards,
Ikhsan

OSX 'screencapture' killed 9

It was on an OSX 10.10.5 machine.
As I tried copying '/usr/sbin/screencapture' to '~/' and renaming it to 'sc', it worked.
I guess it is the process name 'screencapture' that would be killed.
Even 'screencapture1' would work but not 'screencapture'.

In my fork, I also included the 'sc' into bin, as well as nircmd.
However, I think it is not a very common case to be considered in master?

need some methods for customization.

Although your module fits my job but can you provide some scope for customization so that I can use it. Like option to change colour of background screen when script is running.

no support for win64

script takes screenshot of whole screen in win64..NOT interactive as in linux..please have a look at it.

Not taking screen-shot of entire screen.

It is not taking screen-shot of entire screen. It will take screen-shot of just active window (for e.g. if you've opened multiple windows like browser and any file as side by side then it will take screen-shot of active window that is currently in use and will not take screen-shot of another window/file).

New Release: Update tmp package

Can You publish a new release with tmp update package?

Thanks :)

[question] Screencapture on multiple monitors?

I'm not familiar with screencapture in OSX.
I wonder is it able to capture full shots within more than one monitors (screens).

Btw, in Windows, the nircmd does support this feature,
see https://github.com/fritx/node-screencapture/blob/gt/lib/capture_exec.js#L14

Not support node v12

npm install -g screencapture

npm WARN npm npm does not support Node.js v12.18.0
npm WARN npm You should probably upgrade to a newer version of node as we
npm WARN npm can't make any promises that npm will work with this version.
npm WARN npm Supported releases of Node.js are the latest release of 6, 8, 9, 10, 11.
npm WARN npm You can find the latest version at https://nodejs.org/

[bug] Missing quotes for file path (with spaces)

The cmd line seems to break if a path like E:\Program Files\ passed in.
