#### a tool to capture and print snapchat pictures to a connected inkless BERG Little Printer.

BERG Little Printer
<http://bergcloud.com/littleprinter/>

littlesnapper captures unread snapchat images, hosts the image for 45 seconds 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._

## requirements

to run littlesnapper you would need:

-   php 5.1+

-   php-curl

-   mcrypt

-   A BERG Little Printer

-   A server or vps

(I've tried heroku and i'm working on it in the future.)

## how to use

first of all, replace the following in the source:

-   'username' = "" - where "" is your snapchat username

-   'password' = "" - where "" is your snapchat password

-   \$lp\_key = "" - where "" is your little printer key.

-   'DIRECTORY\_TO\_LITTLE\_SNAPPER' - your url or domain name where littlesnapper is hosted.

and now using php in the command-line, type:

    php littlesnapper.php
    
here's a few of mine.

It is possible to use cron jobs on a server for littlesnapper.

just don't turn it into a cron job disaster like mine was.

It is possible to use cron jobs on a server for littlesnapper.

_(I ran into alot of permissions errors when using the cron job. Sometimes littesnapper will print a blank image.)_

_to bypass this make sure you put your cron job in:_

    /etc/crontab
    
_(and clear your snapchat feed, that helps too.)_

just don't turn it into a cron job disaster like mine was.
