BrowserSeal.Robot adds to the features of standard edition the ability to automaitcally capture mituple URLs without user intervention. It also features a command line interface which allows to use BrowserSeal.Robot in automation scripts.

Command line arguments:
  • -batch - enable batch processing.
  • -url <url> - capture singile URL, save it to file and exit.
  • -urlfile <urlfile> - read URLs from file, save each capture to separate file and exit.
  • -outdir <directory> - output directory to store captured images.
  • -user <username> - username for HTTP authentication
  • -pass <password> - password for HTTP authentication

When -dev option is enabled BrowserSeal.Robot will not launch the graphical user interface but instead will parse command line arguments, capture URLs with the configured browsers, save results and exit.

This is what typical BrowserSeal.Robot session looks like: 
C:\BrowserSeal>echo twitter.com > urls.txt

C:\BrowserSeal>echo wordpress.com >> urls.txt

C:\BrowserSeal>java -jar browserseal.jar -batch -urlfile urls.txt
