Take a snapshot of a html page using Ruby On Rails

Question

I am working on a RoR project which have a table with a lot of link images. These images are snapshots of the linked page. The linked pages changes several times a day so it must be updated often.

Any ideas of how I can achieve that?

I think that I can have a process to generate the snapshots but it should be uploaded to Heroku in the future. I prefer a solution that is integrated with my solution (i.e. a rake task).

Any ideas?

You can use IMGKit to generate image and then ImageMagick or something else to resize an image
