= 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.
Note: 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
