⚡ Write a generateWebsiteScreenshot() Function using Node

[PineappleIOnic]

💭 Introduction

Appwrite Functions allow you to extend and customize your Appwrite server functionality by executing your custom code 🤩 You can learn more in our official Appwrite Functions docs.

The backbone of Appwrite Functions is Open Runtimes, an environment for serverless cloud computing. Since all Open Runtime functions are valid Appwrite functions, we are looking for contributors to extend the Open Runtimes Examples repository.

Your task is to implement generateWebsiteScreenshot() function using Node. Please make sure to look at existing function examples and use them as a template for your function. This will help you keep the proper structure as well as provide information on how to test the function.

⚡ Function Details

Generate a PNG screenshot of a website. Feel free to use 3rd party services and introduce their secret keys as function variables. An URL of the website should be received as payload, and a screenshot should be returned in base64 format.

Example function payload:

{"url":"https://google.com/"}

Successful function response:

{"success":true,"screenshot":"iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAaQAAALiCAY...QoH9hbkTPQAAAABJRU5ErkJggg=="}

Error function response:

{"success":false,"message":"Website could not be reached."}

🎯 Requirements

• Experience with Appwrite.
• Experience with Node.
• Knowledge to implement generateWebsiteScreenshot function.
• Experience with Docker.

✅ Task Summary

• Ask to be assigned to the issue.
