API Methods

Use it Your Way

Learn more about the API

GET or POST Request

Originally, you can call the API using a GET request, which works synchronously and allows you to configure your screenshot directly inside it’s URL. You can also use a POST request to call the API synchronously or asynchronously.

Sync or Async

When calling the API via POST request, you can receive the response asynchronously by polling or using a webhook. This enables you to render multiple screenshots at a time and allows for bigger request payloads. Using a POST request, you can also receive the response synchronously, which makes integration with no-code services so easy.

JSON or Binary Data

Calling the API synchronously via GET request, you will always receive the binary image data, so you can directly include the request URL inside your img tags. Using POST requests, you will receive a JSON blob containing the screenshots URL(s).

Edge Cases

What You See is What You Get

Webfonts & Emoji

SVG

Benefits

Don't Bother Building Your Own Screenshot Microservice

Besides all the edge cases you’ll run into, you’d need to handle security, storage, blocking and all the maintenance. Let us handle that for you.

Try for free

No credit card required.

Maintenance

Maintaining a headless browser/puppeteer instance is extremely resource intensive. Requests freeze, processes crash and constantly need rebooting.

Costs

Expensive instances with high memory and plenty of CPU are required for a smooth operation.

Security

Running headless browsers on your own network can open up many security holes such as server side request forgery (SSRF).

Storage & Caching

We host and cache your screenshots for up to 30 days, or you can push them to your own cloud storage using our integrations for S3 and other services for archival.
