Web Scraping

Scrape Screenshot

Capture a screenshot of a website.

get/web/screenshot

Query parameters

domainstring

Domain name to take screenshot of (e.g., 'example.com', 'google.com'). The domain will be automatically normalized and validated. You must provide either 'domain' or 'directUrl', but not both.

directUrlstring uri

A specific URL to screenshot directly, bypassing domain resolution (e.g., 'https://example.com/pricing'). When provided, the screenshot is taken of this exact URL. You must provide either 'domain' or 'directUrl', but not both.

fullScreenshot'true' | 'false'

Optional parameter to determine screenshot type. If 'true', takes a full page screenshot capturing all content. If 'false' or not provided, takes a viewport screenshot (standard browser view).

handleCookiePopup'true' | 'false'

Optional parameter to control cookie/consent popup handling. If 'true', we dismiss cookie banner before capture. If 'false' or not provided, captures the page without that step.

colorScheme'light' | 'dark'

Optional parameter to choose the site's visual theme in the screenshot. Use 'light' or 'dark' when the site offers both appearances.

widthinteger

Viewport width in pixels.

heightinteger

Viewport height in pixels.

Optional browser viewport dimensions for the screenshot. Defaults to 1920x1080.

maxAgeMsinteger

Return a cached screenshot if a prior screenshot for the same parameters exists and is younger than this many milliseconds. Defaults to 1 day (86400000 ms) when omitted. Max is 30 days (2592000000 ms). Set to 0 to always capture fresh.

Optional parameter to specify which page type to screenshot. If provided, the system will scrape the domain's links and use heuristics to find the most appropriate URL for the specified page type (30 supported languages). If not provided, screenshots the main domain landing page. Only applicable when using 'domain', not 'directUrl'.

waitForMsinteger

Optional browser wait time in milliseconds after initial page load before taking the screenshot. Min: 0. Max: 30000 (30 seconds). Defaults to 3000 ms when omitted.

scrollOffsetinteger

Optional vertical scroll offset in pixels for capturing a long page in viewport-sized chunks. When provided, the full page is captured once and the returned image is the viewport-sized slice that begins at this Y offset (e.g. request scrollOffset=0, then 1080, then 2160 to walk a 1920x1080 landing page top to bottom). The final slice may be shorter than the viewport height. Takes precedence over fullScreenshot. Max: 100000.
