A simple utility for getting the fully rendered content of a web-page, as the browser sees it, after all JavaScript, CSS and images have loaded and executed, either as a PNG or HTML text.

Installation

Install using CocoaPods by adding this line to your Podfile:

use_frameworks!

target 'MyApp' do
  pod 'CSWebShot'
end

Getting a PNG rendering of a web page

The example below fetches a PNG rendering of a webpage and generates an NSImage object from the returned data.

let url = URL(string: "https://criollo.io/")!
CSWebShot(url: url).webshot { (action, data, error) in
    if (error != nil) {
        print ("An error has occurred: \(error?.localizedDescription)")
        return
    }   
    let image = NSImage(data: data!)
}

Getting the rendered HTML content of the page

The example below fetches the rendered HTML content of a webpage and generates a String object from the returned data.

let url = URL(string: "https://criollo.io/")!
CSWebShot(url: url).renderedHTML { (action, data, error) in
    if (error != nil) {
        print ("An error has occurred: \(error?.localizedDescription)")
        return
    }   
    let html = String(data: data!, encoding: String.Encoding.utf8)
}
