# initializing webdriver for Chrome with our options
driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=options)
 
# Desired downdetector URL 
url = "https://downdetector.com/status/escape-from-tarkov/"
 
# Open the website
driver.get(url)

# Wait for the chart to load
WAIT = 1
WebDriverWait(driver, WAIT).until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.ID, "chart-row")))

# Get the chart element
s = driver.find_element(By.XPATH, "//body/div[3]/div[2]/div[1]/div[2]/div[1]")

# Get the sizes of the chart for cropping
location = s.location
size = s.size
x = location['x']
y = location['y']
h = location['y'] + size['height']
w = location['x'] + size['width']

# Save the chart screenshot to memory
p = driver.get_screenshot_as_png()

# Open the captured image to crop it
img_open = Image.open(BytesIO(p))

# Crop the image
img_crop = img_open.crop((x, y, w, h))

# Save the cropped image
img_crop.save("chart.png")

# close browser
driver.close()

This snippet of code will fetch the desired downdetector URL and grab a resulting screenshot of the chart like so:

To enable headless, mode simply uncomment the following line:
