New Feature - Update Website Thumbnails in Intervals

by SnapCasaFounder 6. March 2009 18:33
 

Today I would like to introduce a new parameter which will make it easier for premium users to make update requests.  The new ‘age’ parameter accepts a numeric value which represents the maximum amount of time to allow a snapshot to be requested without an update.  The numeric value passed with the age parameter represents the hours since the last update.  For instance, if you attach age=24 to your requests each snapshot will be updated every 24 hours.

You can also pass decimal values such as 1.25 which will update your snapshots every 75 minutes.  Snapshots can be update at maximum every 15 minutes and at minimum every 30 days.  As with the alternative way to request snapshot updates introduced in December, there is a three credit charge per update request.

New Parameter Eliminates Waiting!

by SnapCasaFounder 25. February 2009 01:29
 

Premium users can now take advantage of yet another new parameter.  You may have noticed that if a snapshot is being captured for the first time the request may take up to 20 seconds or longer to complete while the webpage is captured.  The new ‘wait’ parameter will enable users to immediately receive a processing snapshot instead of waiting for the capture.  This feature is also useful when you want to submit a snapshot for processing which you will be needing later.

Always place the ‘wait’ parameter before the ‘url’ parameter.  Setting a value of 0 for the wait parameter will immediately return a ‘Processing’ graphic if the requested url is not currently stored in our cache.   This feature does not cost any additional credits.  Enjoy!

Welcome to the New SnapCasa!

by SnapCasaFounder 22. September 2008 08:00

 


The long awaited release of SnapCasa v2 has now been launched!  This new version features a completely new website and a powerful redesigned backend built from scratch to process website thumbnails quickly and efficiently.  Version two also introduces many new features including the ability to capture snapshots in any size you require.

SnapCasa served 42 Million free snapshots prior to the release of v2 and will continue to do so with the new version.   Users can continue to utilize our basic service with up to 300,000 requests monthly at no charge.  If you require more requests then is  allowed by the basic service or if you would like a faster, feature packed snapshot service then you can upgrade to our affordable premium service.

Our new premium service operates so efficiently that we can offer snapshots at significantly discounted prices.  None of our competitors even come close!  Our snapshot service is fast, accurate, and reliable and we want you to try it for yourself!

As always, if you have any feedback or suggestions about the new website you can contact me directly using the contact page on this blog.  Thank you to our current users who fueled my desire to build a better service, supporters whose donations helped cover expenses, and also our new premium customers which will keep this service operational.

 

Best Regards,
