PHP library for Browshot API: take screenshots of any web page

Browshot (PHP)

Browshot (https://www.browshot.com/) is a web service to easily make screenshots of web pages in any screen size, as any device: iPhone©, iPad©, Android©, Nook©, PC, etc. Browshot has full Flash, JavaScript, CSS, & HTML5 support., _(*1)

The latest API version is detailed at https://browshot.com/api/documentation. browshot follows the API documentation very closely: the function names are similar to the URLs used (screenshot/create becomes screenshot_create(), instance/list becomes instance_list(), etc.), the request arguments are exactly the same, etc., _(*2)

The library version matches closely the API version it handles: Browshot 1.0.0 is the first release for the API 1.0, browshot 1.1.1 is the second release for the API 1.1, etc., _(*3)

Browshot can handle most the API updates within the same major version, e.g. browshot 1.0.0 should be compatible with the API 1.1 or 1.2., _(*4)
