This is a small client package wrapped around GuzzleHttp in order to simplify retrieving thumbnails of web pages as JPEGS via the PagePeeker.com service, _(*1)

Installation

Recommended installation is via composer, _(*2)

php composer.phar require vanqard/pagepeekr

Usage

After the package has been installed, usage is reasonable simple., _(*3)

First, build up an array of parameters like this. (Note that only the sourceUrl parameter is required), _(*4)

$params = [
    'sourceUrl' => 'https://phpbrilliance.com',
    // Optional parameters
    'targetFileName' => '/public/images/phpbrilliance_thumbnail.jpg',
    'thumbnailSize' => 't|s|m|l|x',
    'pollInterval' => 5 // I don't recommend changing the default
];

Then instantiate the client with the parameter array, _(*5)

$client = new \Vanqard\PagePeekr\Client($params);

And request the thumbnail from PagePeeker.com like so, _(*6)

$filename = $client->fetchThumbNail();
