Tool for taking automated screenshots

## Installation

Install this tool using `pip`:

    pip install shot-scraper

The tool runs `playwright` using `npx playwright`, so your system will need to have `npm` configured in such a way that the following works:

    npx playwright --help

## Usage

This tool is configured using a YAML file. Create a file called `shots.yml` that looks like this:

```yaml
- output: example.com.png
  url: http://www.example.com/
- output: w3c.org.png
  url: https://www.w3.org/
```
Then run the tool like so:

    shot-scraper shots.yml

This will create two image files, `example.com.png` and `w3c.org.png`, containing screenshots of those two URLs.

The screenshots default to being 1280px wide and as long as needed to capture the full page.

## Development

To contribute to this tool, first checkout the code. Then create a new virtual environment:

    cd shot-scraper
    python -m venv venv
    source venv/bin/activate

Or if you are using `pipenv`:

    pipenv shell

Now install the dependencies and test dependencies:

    pip install -e '.[test]'

To run the tests:

    pytest
