Laravel package for URL2PNG.com - an API for generating website thumbnails (tested on Laravel 9.x) You will need to apply for an account from https://www.url2png.com and get yourself an api key & secret to generate thumbnails.

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require gkimpson/url2png-laravel

Usage

// this would ideally be in your .env just added this for here ease, apply for these keys from URL2PNG.com
$url2pngConfig = [
    'apiKey' => 'P5023B6XXXXXXX',
    'secret' => 'S5F9C03XXXXXXX',
];
$url2png = new Url2pngLaravelClass($url2pngConfig);

// These options are optional - if none are set it will use the default values
$options = array(
    'unique'    => round(time()/60/60,0);       # Limit capture to once per hour
    'viewport' 	=> '1280x1024';                 # Max 5000x5000; Default 1280x1024      
    'fullpage'	=> 'false',                     # [true,false] Default: false
    'thumbnail_max_width' => 'false';           # scaled image width in pixels; Default no-scaling.
);
echo $url2png->generate('https://www.github.com', $options);

This will output a URL similar to this below which will be the screenshot based on the url and parameters set (if no options set it will use default settings)
