There's a payment form but I never hooked anything up -- it's all free. You can sign up to have a screenshot of any URL emailed to you on a daily basis, or opt out of emails and just have it archived on the site. I've been collecting daily screenshots of ~20 public web sites for the last few months:

EDIT: fixed embarrassing typo, good morning everyone!

But when I turned it into a real service, there was virtually no interest:

zrail, I've got some Ruby code that hits Selenium to take these screenshots. Email adam at cameralends if you're interested, you can have it too.

Just kidding! ;) Smart move and good luck!

Thanks for sharing!

So I could browse back to last week and see what my site looked like, or to my 3rd commit and see what my site looked like then.

  for commit in `git log --format="%H"`
  do
    git checkout $commit && build_my_site.sh && run_my_site.sh
    phantomjs screenshot.js $commit
  done

- Some sort of visual timeline would also be great, i.e. the ability to flip through screenshots with a javascript slider or something

- Export to gifs of video might be useful

- The ability to tag information to certain screenshots would be useful for noting changes and milestones (like in Google Analytics)

It's really fascinating to look at once you've collected a decent number of screenshots to animate through:

I'd definitely be interested in using this service if I wasn't already paying for Snapito.

At my previous startup I hacked this manually by taking a screen grab with Evernote once a month.

I've heard Alexis Ohanian mention he is thankful for having the foresight to take screen shots or early reddit builds too.

I'm sure a lot of startups would find this useful for capturing the journey of the product and then later nostalgia.

At Theneeds.com we manage about 4k websites (planning to grow to 10k) so the prices of all these services are totally out of our budget, and we ended up with an in-house solution to take screenshots.

I would see myself paying more depending on the total number of screenshots and/or the size of the screenshots, but I really don't get the difference between 1 or 1k urls.

Of course, if someone did want to run that many through I'm sure we could talk about volume pricing, given sufficient lead time to scale the app.

javascript:void(open('//web.archive.org/save/'+encodeURI(document.location)))

Which immediately saves the page to the Internet Archive. I haven't had time to look into if the Internet Archive has an API you can issue a URL to and it will fetch the content in the same way as above.

You can do this with a client-side extension, like Resurrect Pages, which presents links to the Google cache (for recent sites under load) and the Internet Archive (for old links that have rotted). https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/resurrect-pag...

Not daily but does the job
