The Screenshot API Built for Developers

Yes, the service is designed to generate high quality, presentation ready screenshots. By adjusting the quality parameter (from 0 to 100), you can produce sharp, high-resolution images that are ideal for client presentations, reports, and marketing materials.

ScreenshotAPI is purpose-built for agencies requiring programmatic screenshot automation. It provides a developer friendly REST API, supports scheduled automated captures via cron expressions, integrates with Node.js, Python, PHP, Ruby, Go, and Java, and allows private cloud storage to S3, Google Cloud, or Wasabi making it a complete automated screenshot solution for agency workflows.

Yes. Unlike standard screenshot services that store captures only in their own public buckets, ScreenshotAPI supports direct integration with Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, and Wasabi - including private buckets. This means your captured screenshots go directly into your own secure cloud storage, giving you full ownership and control over your data.

ScreenshotAPI's scheduled screenshot feature lets you automate full page screenshot captures of any competitor URL on a daily or weekly basis using cron expressions. By capturing timestamped website snapshots consistently, you can visually track SERP ranking pages, layout changes, and content updates without manually checking their websites.

Scrolling Screenshot feature automatically scrolls to the bottom of any webpage and records the full page screen capture as an MP4, GIF, or WebM file. This is the most reliable method to screenshot entire webpages including dynamically loaded content and infinite-scroll pages - via a single API call.

ScreenshotAPI's Bulk Screenshot API is built exactly for this. Upload a list of URLs and the API processes all of them automatically - generating clean, ad-free, uniform screenshots at scale. Marketing teams use it for campaign documentation, competitor audits, and visual reporting workflows without writing complex automation scripts. Our service provides 50+ advanced features for bulk operations, going far beyond plain screenshots with capabilities like customizable rendering, data extraction, and flexible output options.

Yes. ScreenshotAPI includes an extract_text parameter that, when enabled, returns a text file alongside every screenshot containing the complete readable content of the captured webpage. This makes it easy to extract titles, metadata, body copy, and pricing data from any website.

To increase screenshot quality, enable the Retina option to capture at 2x pixel density. It produce high resolution website screenshots with crisp text, sharp edges, and accurate color rendering.

Yes. Using the Scheduled Screenshot feature, you can set automated captures at any frequency (hourly, daily, or weekly) to monitor competitor pages, industry landing pages, or pricing pages for visual changes over time. Combined with the extract_text parameter, each capture also returns the full text content of the page, enabling both visual and data driven trend tracking.

Converting HTML to PDF can be achieved via the use of the Custom HTML parameter. This enables direct insertion of the HTML code into the API for rendering. This is especially important for situations in which one wants to convert HTML that does not exist on a public web URL.
Shorter HTML codes can be sent using the GET method while longer ones should be sent using the POST method since there are limits on the number of characters that can be sent using GET requests.

If you want full webpage content into the PDF without cutting anything off, simply leave the page format undefined in your API request and the tool will generate a single continuous-page PDF sized exactly to the full length of the webpage - nothing trimmed, nothing cropped.
