Here is my need (and I've had this need my whole working career": What does production look like?
If a tool could automate loggin in, browsing specific flows, take screenshots of every page, and add them to a folder of the day, it would invaluable.
- spython 5y agoSikuli http://sikulix.com/ http://sikulix.com/ could perhaps be helpful.
- RandomBookmarks 5y agoSikuli is good for desktop automation. For browser automation an extension based solution (such as this one) is easier to use.
- namuorg 5y agoYou're in luck! Browserflow can take screenshots and save them to Google Drive every day. :) Take a look at the "Take Screenshot" command and feel free to message me on the Browserflow Discord if you need help.
- KennyBlanken 5y ago> and save them to Google Drive No, thank you. Please offer a local save option.
- namuorg 5y agoIf you run the flow locally, it'll save locally. If you run the flow in the cloud, it'll need some place to persist it so I've chosen Google Drive to start. If there's enough demand, I'd be open to storing it on Browserflow's servers and providing an API to access the files but I'd want to make sure that's something enough customers want before sinking my time into it.
- toomuchtodo 5y agoSomething to consider is to support an s3 compatible target [1], so a user could target AWS, Backblaze, their own minio instance, etc. Of course don’t spend the cycles building until demand presents itself.

- dotancohen 5y agoI'm not (yet) a Browserflow user, but it's something that I'm going to either pitch or just skunk into my workflow. But when that time comes, I will absolutely need a first-party way to download screenshots. I'd be open to pulling them from an S3 bucket, but absolutely not from Google Drive. That time is at least a few weeks off, though, probably after the new year.
- soperj 5y agoHow much are you offering for this feature?
- RandomBookmarks 5y agoSuch a thing already exists. The ui.vision extension is roughly the same, but it runs locally (no cloud): https://ui.vision/rpa/docs/selenium-ide/capturescreenshot https://ui.vision/rpa/docs/selenium-ide/capturescreenshot
- kyawzazaw 5y agoDo you think you would buy this if it does? Seems pricing is high
- genev 5y agoHow about a few lines of python with selenium?
- kordlessagain 5y agoIt’s more than a few and less than a bushel.

- ukd1 5y agoYou could also do most of this (except adding the screenshot to a folder, but you can get it via api if you need) and more with our free plan - https://www.rainforestqa.com/ https://www.rainforestqa.com/
- renatgabitov 5y agoJon, what's the main pain or goal with capturing a screenshot for every page that you visit? It's tricky to do on your machine, so that performance doesn't suffer. At the end of the day, all full-page PDF generators would have to scroll to the end of the page, which would make it really tough for you to browse around. A solution to this would be to just capture the URLs that you visit, and then do the screenshot generation in the cloud. The limitation is that none of your websites with logins would get captured. Local storage is another issue for Chrome Extensions. There is a limit to how much data that can be stored.
- jonshariat 5y agoI'm not a programmer so it would need to be easy enough to set up and maintain. Logged in states are a must have.
- throwaway81523 5y agoI worked with a test automation system a while back that used ffmpeg to screenshot a headless browser. Similar approach might be workable on desktop.

- T_O_T_O 5y agoWhat is the specific use case or value that you extract from saving those screenshots?
