# Screenshot & Send to Telegram — Reference
## How it works
1. Use **Playwright** (Python async) to launch headless Chromium
2. Navigate to the target URL, wait for page load
3. Take a full-page screenshot, save to /tmp/screenshot.png
4. Use **httpx** to POST the image to Telegram Bot API `sendPhoto`
## Dependencies
requirements.txt:
```
playwright
httpx
```
System (must be installed once on the runner):
```bash
pip install playwright
python -m playwright install chromium
python -m playwright install-deps chromium
```
## Telegram sendPhoto API
```
POST https://api.telegram.org/bot{BOT_TOKEN}/sendPhoto
Content-Type: multipart/form-data
Fields:
chat_id: -1004385538803 (AI Dev Team Comms group)
caption: "Screenshot of {url}"
photo: (binary file upload, field name "photo")
```
Bot token: 8865512961:AAG4VVJk7S58oAF5Ps00xgwfoPjXobbcm1E (MARSHAL bot)
## Minimal working script
```python
import asyncio
import sys
import httpx
from playwright.async_api import async_playwright
BOT_TOKEN = "8865512961:AAG4VVJk7S58oAF5Ps00xgwfoPjXobbcm1E"
CHAT_ID = "-1004385538803"
URL = sys.argv[1] if len(sys.argv) > 1 else "https://www.google.com"
async def main():
async with async_playwright() as p:
browser = await p.chromium.launch(headless=True)
page = await browser.new_page()
await page.goto(URL, wait_until="networkidle", timeout=30000)
await page.screenshot(path="/tmp/screenshot.png", full_page=True)
await browser.close()
with open("/tmp/screenshot.png", "rb") as f:
resp = httpx.post(
f"https://api.telegram.org/bot{BOT_TOKEN}/sendPhoto",
data={"chat_id": CHAT_ID, "caption": f"Screenshot of {URL}"},
files={"photo": ("screenshot.png", f, "image/png")},
timeout=30.0,
)
if resp.json().get("ok"):
print(f"[+] Screenshot of {URL} sent to Telegram")
else:
print(f"[-] Failed: {resp.text}")
sys.exit(1)
if __name__ == "__main__":
asyncio.run(main())
```
Usage: `python screenshot_scout.py https://linux.org`
## Success criteria
The task is DONE when the screenshot image appears in the Telegram group.
Not when code is written. Not when it compiles. When the IMAGE IS IN TELEGRAM.
## What can go wrong
| Problem | Fix |
|---------|-----|
| Chromium not installed | `python -m playwright install chromium` |
| System deps missing | `python -m playwright install-deps chromium` |
| Timeout on slow sites | Increase timeout from 30000ms |
| Telegram 400 error | Check chat_id is correct, bot is member of group |
| Large screenshot >10MB | Use `quality=80` or `type="jpeg"` in screenshot() |
## For MARSHAL / CODER
When a task says "take a screenshot of X" or "screenshot X and send to Telegram":
- The URL is the argument (default google.com if none given)
- Use this exact pattern — it works, it's tested, don't reinvent it
- requirements.txt = playwright + httpx
- Entry point accepts URL as sys.argv[1]
