I finally figured it out. The first line of the documentation was wrong. I’m not sure when the API changed to use ES6 modules (semver is v28 currently, if that tells you anything about its volatility) but apparently the official documentation site wasn’t reviewed. Whoever updated it with googleapis@27 but didn’t test the new version needs to take a few minutes and think about why testing is important. To quote JPL’s coding standard,

Rule 2 (routine checking) All code shall always be compiled with all compiler warnings enabled at the highest warning level available, with no errors or warnings resulting… This rule should be considered routine practice, even for non-critical code development.

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:

</head>
<body>
  <div id="player"></div>
  <script src="asciinema-player.min.js"></script>
  <script>
    AsciinemaPlayer.create(
      '/assets/180006.json',
      document.getElementById('player'),
      { cols: 80, rows: 24 }
    );
  </script>
</body>
</html>

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

While this site doesn't offer 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 run the following command to create GIF file:

agg https://asciinema.org/a/180006 180006.gif

Or, if you already downloaded the recording file:

agg 180006.json 180006.gif

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.
