Hi!

I'm planning to use Miro in my development workflow, and since i have noticed that the API doesn't support a simple and quick way to “screenshot” or export a fast overview over a section of the board, I'm thinking of building a small bot that can browse the board and do this automatically (by acting as a user/browser). I'm not planning to execute any actions or let this bot act in rapid succession, just taking a image like this, no more than once a minute. This wouldn't put any more strain on Miro's servers more than another human user would.
But, I want to check if this is something that could get me into trouble, or if this would be okay?
If this was something that existed as a feature in the API, i would absolutely use that instead. The enterprise “export” feature is overkill for me. I want something quick and i don't need the high quality.

Thanks,
/Alfred

​@Alfred Vikström Brilliant!!… This is territory that needs explored. We’ve been on the verge of building this many times in the last 3 years -- most likely in the browser plugin space. PLEASE DO IT! and please report back your progress / success! 

How are you planning to make the bot look around the board...like a logged in browser or headless setup??

Hey ​@Alfred Vikström 

Thanks so much for your question. While it’s an awesome idea, unfortunately, it’s not allowed within our conduct standards.
