[](#a-tool-to-capture-and-print-snapchat-pictures-to-a-connected-inkless-berg-little-printer) BERG Little Printer littlesnapper captures unread snapchat images, hosts the image for 45 seconds (or any amount you choose) to allow the little printer to parse and print the image and then deletes it. littlesnapper's old name was *'whippersnapper'* note: due to the printer being a thermal printer, the images it will print will be black and white. *yu wer expekting culurs rite?* *srry.* ***serious note: littlesnapper won't work anymore because BERG Cloud has shut down.*** requirements ------------ [](#requirements) to run littlesnapper you would need: - php 5.1+ - php-curl - php-gd - mcrypt - A BERG Little Printer - A local, hosted server or vps (I've tried heroku and i'm working on it in the future.) how to use ---------- [](#how-to-use) Here is a democast [](http://quick.as/7zoi4wg) first of all, install dependencies by typing: `composer install` next, replace the following in the `config/config.ini.php` \###snapchat config `usr` = your snapchat username. eg: Evan `pass` = your snapchat password. eg: Ghostface `delete` = do you want to delete or keep captured snaps? eg: true - *In ALL cases this should be `true` as you do NOT need to keep images on your server.* `dither` = image dithering options: `true` = dither, `false` = threshold \###littleprinter config `api_key` = your littleprinter API key. `server_url` = your servers root directory that littlesnapper is hosted on. - *[ngrok](https://ngrok.com/) is awesome to host local servers securely on the web.* `time_to_delete` = the time you want to delete the image in seconds. eg 20 - *if you type null or a strange value, littlesnapper defaults to 45 seconds.* *also, make sure your folder **permissions** are setup properly.* and now using php in the command-line, type: ``` php littlesnapper.php ``` here's a few of mine.

Sometimes littesnapper will print a blank image.)* *to try, use* ``` crontab -e ``` *and enter the path to where php is (/usr/bin/php) & the directory to where littlesnapper is.* just don't turn it into a cron job disaster like mine was. future/todo ----------- [](#futuretodo) (in order of precedence) security config file. implement dithering algorithms (for shading) support for printing multiple snaps. include more dithering features for configuration. snapchat stories! license ------- [](#license) MIT =\[\], > *munchi says thanks, for using this software, knowing that you will do **good** with it.* credits ------- [](#credits) **littlesnapper** was made by [@hakobyte](https://twitter.com/hakobyte) **php-snapchat** - a fork of the reverse engineered snapchat library by **[@dstelljes](https://github.com/dstelljes)** - ***(based on snaphax by [@tlack](https://twitter.com/tlack) & [@adamcaudill](https://twitter.com/adamcaudill))*** **imagecrop** - an image cropping library made by [abraham daniel](https://github.com/abrahamdaniel/imageCrop) **Team Snapchat** and BERG Cloud for creating Little Printer! ### Health Score 28 — LowBetter than 52% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity9 Limited adoption so far Community9 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity62 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 100% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
