Introduction to Screenshot API

In today's digital landscape, the ability to programmatically capture website screenshots is becoming increasingly valuable. Whether you're building a monitoring tool, creating website previews, or archiving web content, our Screenshot API provides a powerful solution.

Why Use a Screenshot API?

Manual screenshot capturing is time-consuming and impractical at scale. Our API allows you to:

• Capture high-resolution screenshots of any website
• Automate the process for multiple URLs
• Customize viewport sizes for different devices
• Control timing to ensure content is fully loaded
• Integrate screenshot functionality into your applications

Getting Started

Here's a simple example using JavaScript to capture a screenshot:

01const response = await fetch('https://api.screenshotapi.com/capture', {
02  method: 'POST',
03  headers: {
04    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
05    'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_KEY'
06  },
07  body: JSON.stringify({
08    url: 'https://example.com',
09    width: 1280,
10    height: 800,
11    fullPage: true
12  })
13});
14
15const data = await response.json();
16console.log(data.screenshotUrl);

With just this simple code, you can capture high-quality screenshots of any website. In the following tutorials, we'll explore more advanced features and customization options.
