Save and render a webpage with PhantomJS and node.js

From your comments, I'd guess you have 2 options

  1. Try to find a phantomjs node module - https://github.com/amir20/phantomjs-node
  2. Run phantomjs as a child process inside node - http://nodejs.org/api/child_process.html

Edit:

It seems the child process is suggested by phantomjs as a way of interacting with node, see faq - http://code.google.com/p/phantomjs/wiki/FAQ

Edit:

Example Phantomjs script for getting the pages HTML markup:

var page = require('webpage').create();  
page.open('http://www.google.com', function (status) {
    if (status !== 'success') {
        console.log('Unable to access network');
    } else {
        var p = page.evaluate(function () {
            return document.getElementsByTagName('html')[0].innerHTML
        });
        console.log(p);
    }
    phantom.exit();
});

With v2 of phantomjs-node it's pretty easy to print the HTML after it has been processed.

var phantom = require('phantom');

phantom.create().then(function(ph) {
  ph.createPage().then(function(page) {
    page.open('https://stackoverflow.com/').then(function(status) {
      console.log(status);
      page.property('content').then(function(content) {
        console.log(content);
        page.close();
        ph.exit();
      });
    });
  });
});

This will show the output as it would have been rendered with the browser.

Edit 2019:

You can use async/await:

const phantom = require('phantom');

(async function() {
  const instance = await phantom.create();
  const page = await instance.createPage();
  await page.on('onResourceRequested', function(requestData) {
    console.info('Requesting', requestData.url);
  });

  const status = await page.open('https://stackoverflow.com/');
  const content = await page.property('content');
  console.log(content);

  await instance.exit();
})();

Or if you just want to test, you can use npx
