Usage:

jabba_webkit.py <url> [<time>]

url: the page whose source you want to get

time: The application will quit after this given time (in seconds)

If the webpage is AJAX-powered and updates itself, you can tell this browser to wait X seconds. Then it fetches the generated HTML source.

You can also use it as a library:

>>> import jabba_webkit as jw
>>> html1 = jw.get_page(url1, time1)
>>> html2 = jw.get_page(url2)    # yes, you can call it several times

jabba-webkit's Issues

wrapper to java

Hi,
I have gone through jabba web kit it is good for getting content from ajax based web pages . . .
but we dont know much about phython so Is there any wrapper to covert this from python to java or javascript

How to make custom http requests?

How would I go about creating a POST request, for instance, instead of a standard GET request?

I have a webpage powered by javascript that will only respond to certain conditions (post data, cookies, etc).

Request for screenshots capabilities

Hello.
First of all - thanks for the great tool.
I want to ask the developer of this piece of software, is it possible and how I can make screenshots within the Jabba Webkit environment?
