Joshua Eichorn recently released a fantastic service for creating thumbnail of webpages at runtime. The service is named as “WebThumb” . Later he relased some API for developers to incorporate the service using a API-Key. The API-Key is available after registering at the site.
Today I made a PHP Wrapper of his WebThumb API using Curl. Now you can create Thumbnails using this wrapper class from PHP. I released my wrapper under LGPL and setup and online version also.
I hope you will enjoy it.

Interesting coding no doubt, but I must have missed something. Why would someone want to create a thumbnail of a web site programmatically?

“Why would someone want to create a thumbnail of a web site programmatically?”

Hey, What the fuck is this “private $_request_uri = “http://webthumb.bluga.net/api.php”;” Is this the script to capture the web image? Are you take the image from http://spa.snap.com/preview/?url=….. ?
