webshot2

webshot2 is meant to be a replacement for webshot, except that instead of using PhantomJS, it uses headless Chrome via the Chromote package.

Installation

webshot2 currently depends on a number of in-development packages.

remotes::install_github("rstudio/webshot2")

You also need to have the Chrome browser installed on your system. You can also use other browsers based on Chromium, such as Chromium itself, Edge, Vivaldi, Brave, or Opera.

Usage

# Single page
webshot("https://www.r-project.org")

# Multiple pages (in parallel!)
webshot(c("https://www.r-project.org", "https://www.rstudio.com"))

# Specific height and width
webshot("https://www.r-project.org", vwidth = 1600, vheight = 900, cliprect = "viewport")
