# prerender
Render JavaScript-rendered page as HTML/PDF/mhtml/png/jpeg using headless Chrome
## Install Chrome
Headless mode is supported in Chrome stable 59+ and unstable/dev channel, you should be able to install it via:
https://www.google.com/chrome/browser/beta.html?platform=linux
## Start Chrome Headless
```bash
$ google-chrome --headless --remote-debugging-port=9222 --disable-gpu "about:blank"
```
To disable image loading, add `--blink-settings=imagesEnabled=false` argument:
```bash
$ google-chrome --headless --remote-debugging-port=9222 --disable-gpu --blink-settings=imagesEnabled=false "about:blank"
```
## Install Prerender
```bash
$ pip install -U prerender
```
## Start Prerender
As standalone application:
```bash
$ prerender
```
To run it under gunicorn:
```bash
$ gunicorn --bind 0.0.0.0:3000 --worker-class sanic.worker.GunicornWorker prerender.app:app
```
## How does it work
Say you deployed Prerender under `http://prerender.example.com:8000`, to render `http://example.com` you can do:
```bash
$ # render HTML
$ curl http://prerender.example.com:8000/http://example.com
$ curl http://prerender.example.com:8000/html/http://example.com
$ # render mhtml
$ curl http://prerender.example.com:8000/mhtml/http://example.com
$ # render PDF
$ curl http://prerender.example.com:8000/pdf/http://example.com
$ # render png
$ curl http://prerender.example.com:8000/png/http://example.com
$ # render jpeg
$ curl http://prerender.example.com:8000/jpeg/http://example.com
```

Settings are mostly configured by environment variables.
