This new programmable API is for capturing website screenshots. Currently in beta, Screen.rip costs $7 to take 10,000 shots. This developer tool was created by Lakshan Perera.
Based in Australia, the web design startup automates the process of taking website screenshots. This can be used for the purposes of "keeping screenshots on your landing pages and support articles up to date." The developer API could also be used to build gallery-based sites. The new venture differentiates itself by giving you the chance to run a JavaScript before screenshotting. This would allow you to scroll down, highlight elements on a web page or otherwise alter things. A detailed how-to is posted online at Screen.rip as well.
