Capture a page screenshot
Use PSParseHTML to capture browser-backed output from PowerShell.
This pattern is useful when an operations script needs an image artifact from a web page or local HTML output.
It is adapted from the PSParseHTML command mapping in the HtmlTinkerX README.
When to use this pattern
- You need a screenshot as part of a report or validation run.
- The page has to be rendered by a real browser engine.
- The workflow is PowerShell-first.
Example
Import-Module PSParseHTML
$session = Start-HTMLSession -Url 'https://example.com'
Save-HTMLScreenshot -Session $session -OutFile "$PSScriptRoot\example.png"
Close-HTMLSession -Session $session
What this demonstrates
- using the PowerShell module surface
- producing a screenshot artifact from a URL
- keeping browser-backed rendering inside an automation script
