API Parameters

This API endpoint allows you to capture screenshots of webpages with various customizable options. Below is a detailed explanation of each query parameter you can use:

url (required): The URL of the webpage to capture. This should be a fully qualified URL, starting with http or https.
Example: url=https://example.com
api_key (optional): Your API key, required for accessing higher usage limits or premium features.
Example: api_key=XXX
resolution (optional): The resolution of the screenshot. This defines the width and height of the browser viewport.
Format: widthxheight
Examples: resolution=1920x1080, resolution=1280x800
Default: 1280x1024
sleep (optional): The delay (in seconds) before the screenshot is taken, allowing for page elements to fully load. This is useful for pages that have significant JavaScript-driven content.
Example: sleep=5
Default: 1 seconds
googlebot (optional): Whether to use a Googlebot user-agent to potentially bypass captchas or for testing how a page looks to search engine crawlers.
Values: 1 (use Googlebot), 0 (use standard user-agent)
Example: googlebot=1
Default: 1
full_screen (optional): Whether to capture the entire height of the webpage, not just what fits within the specified resolution.
Values: 1 (capture full page), 0 (capture only the viewport)
Example: full_screen=1
redirect (optional): Whether to immediately redirect to the image instead of returning JSON
Example: &redirect
