How did you capture all these screenshots? Great video!

You can use Puppeteer to drive the web scraping and use page.screenshot() to capture images. You can find a quick example in the docs below:

Thanks! Yes, it's puppeteer, plus imagemagick to add transparency using an overlay on an empty map, and ffmpeg to make the 60fps video. A lot of data, currently have over 200GB.
