Generate Webpage Screenshot API

Hosted on ApyHub

What it does

Capture Webpage Screenshot turns a URL into a PNG screenshot. Send a page URL, optionally add a delay, and get back either a binary PNG download or a signed storage link for the captured image.

Use the /download endpoint when you want the screenshot streamed directly as a file. It accepts url, delay, output, and quality, with delay capped at 10 and quality ranging from 1 to 5. Use /link when your workflow prefers a shareable upload URL; it accepts url, delay, and quality, and returns a data field containing the signed PNG URL.

Capture Webpage Screenshot is a fit for QA checks, visual regression pipelines, archiving page states, or grabbing screenshots for reports and support tickets. It works from a single page URL, so you can automate browser captures without building your own screenshot service.
