In this screencast we show how you can quickly build and deploy a service to StackHut - a platform we’ve been hacking on for deploying local code as live APIs in the cloud.

More details can be found in the tutorial.

Check the associated screencast to see how you can use a StackHut service.

Give it a try at StackHut and let us know how you get on :).

Embed the player

If you're embedding on your own page or on a site which permits script tags, you can use the full player widget:

<script src="https://asciinema.org/a/23991.js" id="asciicast-23991" async="true"></script>

Copied!

Paste the above script tag where you want the player to be displayed on your page.

See embedding docs for more player customization options.

You can download this recording in asciicast v1 format, as a .json file.

Replay in terminal

You can replay the downloaded recording in your terminal using the asciinema play command:

asciinema play 23991.json

Copied!

If you don't have asciinema CLI installed then see installation instructions.

Use with stand-alone player on your website

Download asciinema player from the releases page (you only need .js and .css file), then use it like this:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/assets/asciinema-player.css" />
</head>
<body>
  <div id="player"></div>
  <script src="/assets/asciinema-player.min.js"></script>
  <script>
    AsciinemaPlayer.create(
      '/assets/23991.json',
      document.getElementById('player'),
      { cols: 100, rows: 30 }
    );
  </script>
</body>
</html>

See asciinema player quick-start guide for full usage instructions.

While this site doesn't provide GIF conversion at the moment, you can still do it yourself with the help of asciinema GIF generator utility - agg.

Once you have it installed, generate a GIF with the following command:

agg https://asciinema.org/a/23991 demo.gif

Copied!

Or, if you already downloaded the recording file:

agg demo.cast demo.gif

Copied!

Check agg --help for all available options. You can change font family and size, select color theme, adjust speed and more.

See agg manual for full usage instructions.
