Phantomjs function

Phantomjs is a headless web-browser used for scraping and automation testing. This function will scrape a web-page with the JavaScript sent in through the function.

Example usage:

$ time curl --data-binary @cnn.js http://localhost:8080/function/phantomjs

Status: success
CNN - Breaking News, Latest News and Videos

real    0m8.729s

This script visits the front page of CNN and once it is fully loaded - scrapes the title.

See cnn.js as an example of a Phantomjs script.

Another example script feedly_subscribers.js gives the count of subscribers for an RSS Feed registered on Feedly.
