async function run() {
  const chromeless = new Chromeless()
 
  const screenshot = await chromeless
    .goto('https://www.google.com')
    .type('chromeless', 'input[name="q"]')
    .press(13)
    .wait('#resultStats')
    .screenshot()
 
  console.log(screenshot) // prints local file path or S3 url
 
  await chromeless.end()
}
 
run().catch(console.error.bind(console))

Now run it

node app.js

You should get a screenshot of a google search for "chromeless"
