browserstacker 0.3

Installation

The current stable release:

pip install browserstacker

or:

easy_install browserstacker

or from source:

$ sudo python setup.py install

Usage

To start working with BrowserStack ScreenShots API simply type:

>>> from browserstacker import ScreenShotsAPI
>>> api = ScreenShotsAPI('user', 'key')
>>> api.list_browsers()
[
    {
      "os": "Windows",
      "os_version": "XP",
      "browser": "chrome",
      "browser_version": "21.0",
      "device": None
    },
    {
      "os": "ios",
      "os_version": "6.0",
      "browser": "Mobile Safari",
      "browser_version": None,
      "device": "iPhone 4S (6.0)"
    }
  ....
]

Optionally you can filter the output of list_browsers by browser, browser_version, device, os or os_version.

>>> api.list_browsers(os='Windows', browser='chrome')
[
    {
      "os": "Windows",
      "os_version": "8.1",
      "browser": "chrome",
      "browser_version": "22.0",
      "device": None
    },
    {
      "os": "Windows",
      "os_version": "8.1",
      "browser": "chrome",
      "browser_version": "23.0",
      "device": None
    }
  ....
]

Command line:

$ browserstacker list_browsers -os Windows -b chrome
Available browsers:

------
browser_version: 22.0
os: Windows
browser: chrome
device: None
os_version: 8.1
------
...
Total browsers: 100

Filtration values are case insensitive and are casted to strings during filtration. E.g. you can use integers for filtration by os_version parameter. Also it is possible to filter by multiple values:

>>> api.list_browsers(os='Windows', browser=('chrome', 'firefox'))
[
    {
      "os": "Windows",
      "os_version": "8.1",
      "browser": "chrome",
      "browser_version": "22.0",
      "device": None
    },
    {
      "os": "Windows",
      "os_version": "8.1",
      "browser": "firefox",
      "browser_version": "16.0",
      "device": None
    }
  ....
]

Command line:

$ browserstacker list_browsers -os Windows -b chrome -b firefox
Available browsers:

------
browser_version: 22.0
os: Windows
browser: chrome
device: None
os_version: 8.1
------
...
Total browsers: 215

To generate screenshots:

>>> browser = api.list_browsers()[0]
>>> response = api.generate_screenshots('http://www.google.com', browser)

Command line:

$ browserstacker generate_screenshots http://www.google.com -os Windows -b firefox -bv 37.0 -ov XP

Here you can pass single browsers or list of them. You’ll get the job_id from response. To list available screenshots for job_id:

>>> api.list_screenshots(response['job_id'])
{
    "id":"13b93a14db22872fcb5fd1c86b730a51197db319",
    "state":"done",
    "callback_url": "http://staging.example.com",
    "win_res": "1024x768",
    "mac_res": "1920x1080",
    "quality": "compressed",
    "wait_time": 5,
    "screenshots": [
        {
            "os":"Windows",
            "os_version":"XP",
            "browser":"ie",
            "browser_version":"7.0",
            "id":"be9989892cbba9b9edc2c95f403050aa4996ac6a",
            "state":"done",

            "created_at":"2013-03-14 16:25:45 UTC",
        }
    ]
}

Command line:

$ browserstacker list_screenshots 13b93a14db22872fcb5fd1c86b730a51197db319
