shot-scraper 1.11 adds --js-file loading and a more robust internal server wait

Simon Willison's Blog·low signal

Simon Willison released shot-scraper 1.11 on July 12, 2026, his CLI for screenshots, video demos, and JavaScript-based scraping. New in this release: a --js-file option across the shot, pdf, html, accessibility, and har commands to load JavaScript from a file, stdin, or gh:username/script (an alternative to inline --javascript), a matching js_file: YAML key for multi mode, and a fix that makes the internal server used by video/multi wait up to 30 seconds for the target URL to accept connections instead of a fixed 1-second delay.
