Question

What are the different methods (APIs) provided by Selenium Webdriver to take screenshot of a webpage?

Answer 1

Hey Hemant, Selenium Webdriver provides 3 different APIs to capture screenshot of a webpage. These are:

1. save_screenshot()
2. get_screenshot_as_file()
3. get_screenshot_as_png()

To understand all three methods, checkout this script:

driver = webdriver.Firefox();

driver.get("https://www.facebook.com/");

driver.save_screenshot('screenshot_1.png');

driver.get_screenshot_as_file('screenshot_2.png');

screenshot = driver.get_screenshot_as_png();    
screenshot_size = (20, 10, 480, 600);

image = Image.open (StringIO.StringIO(screen));
region = image.crop(screenshot_size);
region.save('screenshot_3.jpg', 'JPEG', optimize=True);
