Need a programatic way to capture webshots and add to listings...

So, I've been using www.shrinktheweb.com for getting thumbnails of websites into my listings. As my traffic goes up, their prices have been going up. I can't afford them anymore.

 

But, I still really like having an image of a website for listings, especially when there is no other image for the listing.

 

In my 2.2 modifications, I had modified the listings to look for a webshot and use that as the primary image IF no other images were available. Otherwise, the webshot showed up as the last image in the detail listing image area.

 

I just upgraded to 2.3 and now need to revisit my solution anyway.

 

So, ideally, I'd like to use one of those services to get the image, but store it formally and use that. I don't really care if it gets outdated, although it would be nice to have a function/button available in the edit listing area to update the image.

 

Can someone help me out? Willing to pay $200 to get it done. Hope that will work.
