Is there a way to take an in-browser screenshot and send it in chat attachment as the bot | discord.js v12

Question

I am trying to make a command like $screenshot and the bot will then send a screenshot of something on a website. I haven't found a way to actually take screenshots so I'm hoping someone here will help me out.

Can use selenium to generate a screenshot of a website.

  public static void screenshot(WebDriver driver, String imageName) throws Exception{
        new File(imageName).getParentFile().mkdirs();
        File screenshot = ((TakesScreenshot)driver).getScreenshotAs(OutputType.FILE);
        Files.copy(screenshot, new File(imageName));
    }

selenium for javascript: node selenium
can also use puppeteer

As the OP's tags are both `javascript` related, how is this going to help? – Ryan Wilson Jul 27 '20 at 13:06
