Screenshot as a Service is an archived Node.js project that provides a simple website screenshot service powered by Express and PhantomJS. It exposes an HTTP server that can receive a URL, render the page through PhantomJS, and return or save a screenshot image. The project was designed as a lightweight service for automating visual captures of websites without manually opening a browser. It includes asynchronous usage examples for taking screenshots of multiple sites at regular intervals and saving them to disk. Because it relies on PhantomJS, it reflects an older generation of headless browser tooling and should not be treated as a modern screenshot stack. It remains useful as a reference for the basic architecture of screenshot APIs and automated web capture services.
