# http2pic

## Introduction
http2pic is an Open Source website renderer. It uses the [wkhtmltox](https://github.com/wkhtmltopdf/wkhtmltopdf) to render websites with various options.

Live demo on https://http2pic.haschek.at/

## Dependencies
- [wkhtmltox](http://wkhtmltopdf.org/downloads.html)
- "timeout" command
- curl extension for PHP

## Install

- Install [wkhtmltox](http://wkhtmltopdf.org/downloads.html) on your server
- Make /usr/sbin/wkhtmltoimage executable for the user that runs the webserver. For Apache it's the ```www-data``` user. Or use sudo
- Make sure the server has the "timeout" command. For debian this is available via ```apt-get install coreutils```
- Download [this repo](https://github.com/chrisiaut/http2pic/archive/master.zip) and extract it somewhere on your webserver

## Usage

After you extracted the contents of this repo to your webserver and can access the page and it will tell you how to use the API.

But it's as simple as:

```
https://your-url-and.path/api.php?[OPTIONS]&url=[WEBSITE_URL]
```

The requested page will render as image (not provide a link). So you can use the path to your api.php file like so:

```html
<img src="https://your-url-and.path/api.php?url=http://xkcd.com" title="screenshot of xkcd.com" />
```

### Example php script to proxy an image to the local server

```php
<?php
    $targeturl = 'http://www.xkcd.com';
    $url = 'https://http2pic.haschek.at/api.php?url='.rawurlencode($targeturl);
	    
    $ch = curl_init($url);
    $fp = fopen('xkcd.jpg', 'wb');
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FILE, $fp);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
    curl_exec($ch);
    curl_close($ch);
    fclose($fp);
?>
```
