# Websites Screenshoter
This repository contains the code to capture screenshots from websites automatically.
It generates a list of websites to scrap then for each website, take a screenshot. This tool has been created for the purpose of an academic paper: _The Effect of Increased Body Motion in Virtual Reality on a Placement-Retrieval Task_[[1]](@1).
It was inspired by another academic paper: _Data Mountain: Using Spatial Memory for Document Management_[[2]](#2).
## Getting started
This project is using node.js
1. install dependencies with `yarn`
1. write a config file _config/config.yaml_ (you can use _config/config.example.yaml_ as example)
3. generate list of websites to scrap: `yarn generate:list`
4. generate screenshots: `yarn generate:screenshots`
