    #

    import GrabzItClient

    #Create the GrabzItClient class
    #Replace "APPLICATION KEY", "APPLICATION SECRET" with the values from your account!
    grabzIt = GrabzItClient.GrabzItClient("APPLICATION KEY", "APPLICATION SECRET")
    #Take the picture the method will return the unique identifier assigned to this task
    id = grabzIt.TakePicture("http://www.google.com", "http://www.example.com/GrabzItHandler.py")

    # The GrabzItHandler file that saves the screenshot
    #

    import os
    import cgi
    import GrabzItClient

    form = cgi.FieldStorage()

    message = form.getvalue("message")
    customId = form.getvalue("customid")
    id = form.getvalue("id")
    filename = form.getvalue("filename")

    #Custom id can be used to store user ids or whatever is needed for the later processing of the
    #resulting screenshot

    grabzIt = GrabzItClient.GrabzItClient("APPLICATION KEY", "APPLICATION SECRET")
    result = grabzIt.GetPicture(id)

    if result != None:
    #Ensure that the application has the correct rights for this directory.
    fo = open("images" + os.sep + filename, "wb")
    fo.write(result)
    fo.close()

    print "Status: 200 OK"
    print
