Tools to Capture and Convert the Web

New Web Page to Video API added to GrabzIt

02 October 2023

We have created a new web page to video API, which is currently available for alpha testing. So what does this do? In a nutshell it can capture a web page over a period of time rather than a snapshot and return a short video to you. This allows you to see changes on the web page such as images changing, videos playing and so on.

So far we have only made it available on the REST API and JavaScript API. The only real configurable options are the duration and FPS.

Here is an example call:

https://api.grabz.it/services/convert?key=[App Key]&format=mp4&url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/&fps=1&duration=10

We would like to hear your feedback, do you think this is a useful API and do you think it is missing anything? As we don’t want to develop this API further if there is no interest.
