wplace-screenshotter

A CLI tool to fetch a grid of tiles from wplace.live's backend and assemble them into a single PNG file.

Installation

Run the following command to install wpscreen as a command line tool.

npm i -g wplace-screenshotter

Usage

The CLI accepts the following options:

• -x, --from-x -y, --from-y (required) - The x and y indices of the top-left tile
• -w, --width -h, --height - Width and height of the tile grid to be downloaded. Defaults to 1
• -c, --crop - Optional crop region of the resulting image, given by x/y/width/height in pixels
• -o, --out-file - Where to save the resulting PNG image. Defaults to ./wplace-out.png
• -u, --url-prefix - Base URL of the tiles endpoint. Defaults to https://backend.wplace.live/files/s0/tiles
• --help - Prints usage info

Fetching many tiles at once may result in your host being temporarily rate-limited so keep the width and height reasonable.
