## Datawrapper Test Project: Backend
|
|
### Overview
|
|
|
|
The project is to create a web service that takes screenshots of websites.
|
|
|
|
The service should expose an API that a client can use to create a new
|
|
screenshot request, with any given URL as a parameter.
|
|
The web service should then return a status URL that the client can
|
|
periodically call to receive updates on the status on its request.
|
|
The web service should take a screenshot of the provided URL.
|
|
Once the screenshot was taken, it should be possible for the client to retrieve it.
|
|
The service should be designed in a scalable fashion, so that it can handle
|
|
varying amounts of parallel requests in a stable and efficient fashion.
|
|
|
|
The API notation can be defined as you see fit.
|
|
|
|
### Technology stack
|
|
|
|
* Server-side code should be written in JavaScript or TypeScript
|
|
* It should be possible to run the application locally (ideally as a
|
|
containerized application, but other technologies are allowed as well)
|
|
* Any other tools, technologies or frameworks can be used at your discretion
|
|
* A hosted version of the application to test is a plus, but not a must
|
|
|
|
### Delivery
|
|
|
|
The project should be delivered as a Github repository.
|
|
It should be possible to run the service locally.
