Automate screenshots taking and paste it to a web form

[isanka888]

Hi Good people. I have a manual process that I would like to automate using Python. Below are the steps
1. I have a Gsheet opened and active in my browser. I want to take a screenshot of a part of the Gsheet ( x, y, width, height = 100, 800, 100, 100) and copy it to the clipboard (later this will be pasted in to a web form)
2. In my Gsheet R12 cell has web URL. This URL will open a web form. Now I want to click on R12 web URL which will open a new tab
3. paste the screenshot to the web form
4. press ALT+S

So far I have managed to write below code which will take a screenshot of active window and save it to my PC.

import pyautogui
from PIL import Image
import subprocess
import time
import pyperclip
import base64

def take_screenshot(x, y, width, height):
    try:
        screenshot = pyautogui.screenshot(region=(x, y, width, height))
        timestamp = time.strftime("%Y%m%d_%H%M%S")
        filename = f"screenshot_{timestamp}.png"
        screenshot.save(filename)
        return filename
    except Exception as e:
        print(f"Error taking screenshot: {e}")
        return None

def open_image_with_default_viewer(filename):
    try:
        # Open the image file with the default associated program on Windows
        subprocess.Popen(["start", "", filename], shell=True)
    except Exception as e:
        print(f"Error opening image: {e}")

def copy_image_to_clipboard(image_path):
    try:
        with open(image_path, 'rb') as image_file:
            image_data = base64.b64encode(image_file.read()).decode('utf-8')
            pyperclip.copy(image_data)
            print("Image copied to clipboard")
    except Exception as e:
        print(f"Error copying image to clipboard: {e}")

def main():
    # Set the coordinates and dimensions of the area you want to capture
    x, y, width, height = 100, 800, 100, 100

    # Take a screenshot and get the filename
    screenshot_filename = take_screenshot(x, y, width, height)

    if screenshot_filename:
        # Perform any additional processing if needed
        image = Image.open(screenshot_filename)
        # Example: image processing

Please help me on this
