"Scrapfly’s Screenshot API has revolutionized the way we capture web pages. It’s incredibly simple to integrate, and we now generate thousands of clean, ad-free screenshots without worrying about pop-ups or cookie banners.

The API handles complex pages, even those that rely on JavaScript, with no issues. It’s fast, reliable, and the clean capture feature saves us a ton of time by automatically blocking ads and pop-ups."

We wouldn’t trust any other solution for our screenshot needs!"

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Screenshot API?
Screenshot API is a service that'll capture a screenshot of any web page or part of the web page. It's designed to abstract away major screenshot capturing challenges like anti-bot protection and scaling.
How can I access the Screenshot API?
Screenshot HTTP API can be accessed in any http client like curl, httpie or any http client library in any programming language. For first-class support we offer Python and Typescript SDKs.
Is screenshot capture legal?
Yes, generally screesnhot capture of web pages is legal in most places around the world. For more see our in-depth web scraping laws article.
Does Screenshot API use AI for capturing screenshots?
No, screenshots are being captured using real web browsers as directed by the API user. However, AI is integrated with Scrapfly browsers to bypass any potential blocks.
How long does it take to get results from the Screenshot API?
Capture duration varies between 1 second up to 160 seconds as Scrapfly provides a execution budget for running your own browser actions with each request to modify the page before capture. So, it entirely depends on used feature set though Scrapfly always has a browser pool ready to perform scrape requests without any warmup.
Can I capture only specific areas using the Screenshot API?
Yes, you can identify capture areas using the capture parameter and Xpath or CSS selectors.
What capture file formats Screenshot API supports?
Screenshots can be captured in jpg (default), png, webp or gif formats with more formats coming soon.
