Isn't this something like archive.ph is doing? Snapshotting and screenshotting websites. I'm referring both to you and the op.

That looks like a Web Archive (WARC) and a PNG screen shot. I think you can make a screenshot with CasperJS. The WARC can be created by wget.

Yea you are right about PNG but wrong about WARC. Archive.ph doesn't use WARC.

Their FAQ says: https://archive.ph/faq#:~:text=Which%20parts%20of,of%201024x....

Wikipedia says: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archive.today#:~:text=Web%20pa....
