Searching for Screenshot URL library that doesn't require NodeJS

Hey!

I need to find a library that doesn't require NodeJS in order to work. Can you suggest me any?

Browsershot v2 does not require node nor Puppeteer installed. From the main README:

Alternatives

If you're not able to install Node and Puppeteer, take a look at v2 of browsershot, which uses Chrome headless CLI to take a screenshot. v2 is not maintained anymore, but should work pretty well.

If using headless Chrome does not work for you take a look at at v1 of this package which uses the abandoned PhantomJS binary.
