Hi there, If you know Python, read on. Project requires you to get screenshots of 9,500 websites, captured for 1920 x 1080 px screen resolution and saved as jpegs (with filenames that we can easily match up, so please use the URL or variation of, in your script). The project needs to deliver with 98% accuracy. That is, 98% of the images captured should look pretty much the same, or similar to the website as loaded in a browser. *** we failed with an online service, see below for our tale of woe. We will provide the list of the URLs in .csv format - there's nothing special about the URLs, for the most part they're the home pages of a lot of well-known organisations, so we don't expect any problems. Regarding timelines, ideally, we'd like a 48 hour turn around on the project. Or, if that is not doable, then plan B is: - Providing 1,000 images within 24 hours. - Providing the remainder within 3 days -------- *** Our tale of woe: We tried to do this ourselves with an online web service - it provided around 60% correct, with 40% white screen or partially loaded. "Simple", we thought, "change the time delay before capturing screen-grab from 2 seconds to 15 seconds (the max value allowed)". The results were almost identical. .....we checked the sites manually, they pretty much all loaded within usual sort of time frames ( 3 - 7 seconds or so) Being a software developer myself (albeit non-python), I'm willing to bet my house that the particular setting was there for cosmetic purposes, rather than functional. Or it was broken. Anyway, the point is, if you know Python, and you're working on reasonable server, it'll be a reasonably straightforward task.

Hi, I am really interested in your project and would like to work on and complete your project. Your project is so simple and attracted me. Many ways I have to save webpage screenshots but I think Qt is best option. Just will provide few samples if you wish. Meet me, who is a knowledgeable and experienced (yet friendly) Python programmer; who recently became even Full Stack Python Developer! Can you trust and leave your project to me? See my portfolio in desktop computer/view please. I shall be very thankful to you, Ishaq

Hello there, I am pretty sure we can do most if not all websites within 48 hours. I will use Python's Selenium, the work will be quick and precise. The CSV helps a lot of course and, I hope we reach agreement. Contact me, MPA

Hello, As a fresh graduate data scientist, I am motivated to deliver my first project to a well-recommended employer like yourself. I want to be honest, I did not do this kind image processing project before. But I used R and Python for my educational and professional projects in different contexts. And, I can say this confidently, I am looking forward to do this job for you. As a data analyst/scientist at the beginning of my long road towards being a master of analytics, I will be working with joy and excitement, if I will be your choice for the job. Sincerely, Doğanay

Hey there, I newly started my career as a python programmer. Actively searching for a job in my locality. It would be helpful and have a chance of getting hired with high wage if I were worked on Python-related projects. I keep on updating my resume with new projects that I worked recently and on-going. Please give this opportunity to work with you. I mentioned 10AUD bid amount hope it would be minimal compared to others. I assure you I will do this task as earliest. Thanks for your valuable time spending to read this Mohan Krishna

Hello, what exactly needs to be done? Because the whole page will not fit into the screenshot of 1920x1080.
