= Page Glimpse

{PageGlimpse.com}[http://www.pageglimpse.com] is a SaaS provider which has a 
REST API for downloading website thumbnails by URI.  This library wraps that 
interface to provide a Ruby-like means of interacting with it.

<b>Note:</b> The author of this gem is entirely unaffiliated with the PageGlimpse.com web service.

== Getting Started

The following example shows how to use the PageGlimpse API:

    gem 'page_glimpse'
    require 'page_glimpse'
    
    PageGlimpse.developer_key = 'abc123def456ghi789jkl123mno456pq'
    
    if PageGlimpse.exist?('http://www.github.com')
      image = PageGlimpse.get('http://www.github.com')
      puts "Image type:     #{image.content_type}"    # => "image/jpeg"
      puts "Image size:     #{image.content_length}"  # => 2572
      puts "Image filename: #{image.filename}"        # => nil or a name
      
      # Save the transmitted binary (image.content) as a local file
      File.open('github.jpg', File::CREAT|File::WRONLY|File::TRUNC) do |file|
        file.write image.content
      end
    else
      PageGlimpse.queue('http://www.github.com')
      # and then try back later ...
    end
