Crazy Egg API Investigation

More information http://www.crazyegg.com/api

In some instances we may need to create a SHA1 Hex has of the parameters we used, (see http://www.convertstring.com/Hash/SHA1) for example.



GET SNAPSHOTS
We would need to probably call the GET "snapshots.json" endpoint to retrieve a JSON representation of the results from the environment we want to see.

Below is the example request and response.

We would then need to grab the response that was necessary for our environment and overlay the screenshot_url and the heatmap_url to make the heatmap...
