Sketchy is a task-based API for taking screenshots and scraping text from websites, built on PhantomJS and Celery with optional token auth and S3 storage. It is explicitly deprecated and unmaintained since around 2016.
Use cases
- take screenshots of websites via an api
- scrape text from a url
- capture ajax-heavy pages with lazy rendering
- store page captures in s3
- monitor website appearance over time
When to choose
- you need a self-hosted screenshot and text-scraping service and can tolerate legacy PhantomJS dependencies
When to avoid
- you need maintained software or modern browser rendering
- you want headless Chrome or Playwright-based capture
- you need long-term support
