# Local Chrome Screenshot Extension (Unpacked)
|
|
|
|
This is a local-only setup (no publishing) that:
|
|
|
|
1. Captures the visible tab as a PNG from a Chrome extension popup.
|
|
2. Sends it to a local HTTP server on `127.0.0.1`.
|
|
3. Extracts simplified page content (text + a pruned “content tree”) from the active tab.
|
|
4. The server saves it into `./screenshots/` and optionally runs a local script.
|
|
|
|
## 1) Start the local server
|
|
|
|
From the project root:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
python3 tools/local_screenshot_bridge.py --port 8765 --out-dir screenshots --run bash scripts/on_screenshot.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Notes:
|
|
|
|
- The server listens on `http://127.0.0.1:8765/screenshot`.
|
|
- If you omit `--run ...`, it will only save files.
|
|
- If `--run ...` is set, it appends two args to the command:
|
|
- `<png_path>` then `<meta_path>`
|
|
|
|
## 2) Load the extension (unpacked)
|
|
|
|
1. Open Chrome: `chrome://extensions`
|
|
2. Enable "Developer mode"
|
|
3. Click "Load unpacked"
|
|
4. Select: `chrome_screenshot_ext/`
|
|
|
|
## 3) Use it
|
|
|
|
1. Click the extension icon.
|
|
2. Confirm the endpoint is `http://127.0.0.1:8765/screenshot`.
|
|
3. Click "Capture".
|
|
|
|
Saved files land in `screenshots/`:
|
|
|
|
- `YYYYMMDDTHHMMSSZ-<title-slug>.png`
|
|
- `YYYYMMDDTHHMMSSZ-<title-slug>.json`
|
|
- `YYYYMMDDTHHMMSSZ-<title-slug>.content.json`
