A command-line utility for taking automated screenshots of websites
--auth-username x --auth-password y options for each shot-scraper command, allowing a username and password to be set for HTTP Basic authentication. #140
shot-scraper URL --interactive mode now respects the -w and -h arguments setting the size of the browser viewport. Thanks, mhalle. #128
--scale-factor option for setting scale factors other than 2 (for retina). Thanks, Niel Thiart. #136
--browser-arg option for passing extra browser arguments (such as --browser-args "--font-render-hinting=none") through to the underlying browser. Thanks, Niel Thiart. #137
--bypass-csp option for bypassing any Content Security Policy on the page that prevents executing further JavaScript. Thanks, Brenton Cleeland. #116
shot-scraper --interactive $URL - which allows you to interact with the page in a browser window and then hit <enter> to take the screenshot - it no longer reloads the page before taking the shot (which ignored your activity). #125
--omit-background option to the shot command to optionally create transparent PNGs. Thanks, Ben Welsh. #108
shot-scraper to fail to take screenshots on Windows. Thanks, Omer Rosenbaum. #104
--silent option for the shot, multi, pdf and html commands, to disable the default console output. #107

shot-scraper multi --fail-on-error option in favor of the new --fail option. --fail-on-error will continue to work until shot-scraper 2.0 (should that ever be released), but is no longer displayed in the --help menu or documentation. #103
--log-console option for logging the output of calls to console.log() to standard error. #101
--skip and --fail options to specify what should happen if an HTTP 4xx or 5xx error is encountered while trying to load the page. --skip will ignore the error and either exit cleanly or move on to the next screenshot (in the case of multi). --fail will cause the tool to return a non-zero exit code, useful for running in CI environments. #102
shot-scraper html URL command (documented here) for outputting the final HTML of a page, after JavaScript has been executed. #96
shot-scraper javascript has a new -r/--raw option for outputting the result of the JavaScript expression as a raw string rather than JSON encoded (shot-scraper javascript documentation). #95
shot-scraper multi -o option for specifying a subset of one or more output files to execute that are defined in the YAML. This is useful for testing a larger shots.yml file without re-taking every screenshot every time the command is run. #94
--log-requests on a page that includes a redirect. #90
--log-requests output now includes a "status": 200 field indicating the HTTP status code returned by that response.--log-requests tries to log a request with an unknown response size. #89
