Tutorials, real-world examples, and tips from the trenches.
A 200 OK from a screenshot API doesn't mean you got a screenshot — the transport and render layers fail independently. Which status codes to retry and which not, backoff with jitter, respecting Retry-After, catching blank images that pass as a 200, and a circuit breaker. Node.js code throughout.
Most rate limiting guides only cover retry strategies. That's only half the problem. Five concrete strategies — proactive (token bucket, queue) and reactive (Retry-After, exponential backoff, circuit breaker) — with Node.js code.
ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED in headless Chrome inside Docker isn't one error — it's five different network problems sharing the same message. Diagnose with one curl from inside the container, then fix per cause.
Infinite scroll pages don't have a bottom — so "scroll to the end, then screenshot" doesn't work by definition. Five strategies for deciding when to stop, with code for Puppeteer and Playwright.
ScreenshotRun is a cloud-based service that lets you capture pixel-perfect screenshots of any website via a simple REST API. You send a request with the target URL and desired parameters (viewport size, format, full-page mode, etc.), and our servers render the page using an optimized Chromium engine and return the resulting image. The entire process typically takes under 5 seconds.
Yes! We offer a free plan that includes 300 screenshots per month — no credit card required. Simply create an account, grab your API key, and start capturing screenshots right away. If you need higher volume, you can upgrade to a paid plan at any time.
All plans support PNG, JPEG, and WebP image formats. PDF export is available on Starter plans and above. You can also customize viewport dimensions, enable retina (2x) resolution, choose between viewport-only or full-page scrolling capture, and emulate mobile, tablet, or desktop devices.
Yes. Cookie consent banner blocking is available on all plans, including Free. Ad and tracker blocking is available on Starter plans and above. Both options can be toggled on or off for each individual API request, giving you full control over the output.
Integration is straightforward — just make a single HTTP GET or POST request to our API endpoint with your API key and the target URL. We provide ready-to-use code examples for cURL, PHP, Python, JavaScript, Ruby, and Go. Check out our [documentation](/docs) for detailed guides and parameter references.
We maintain 99.9% uptime backed by a robust cloud infrastructure with automatic scaling. Our rendering servers are distributed across multiple regions to ensure fast and reliable screenshot delivery. Paid plans include priority processing for even faster response times.
Yes. You can pass custom HTTP headers (such as cookies or authorization tokens) with your API request. This allows you to capture screenshots of password-protected pages, admin dashboards, or any content behind a login wall.
We send a notification when you reach 80% of your monthly quota. Once the limit is reached, API requests will return an error response until the next billing cycle begins or until you upgrade your plan. Your existing screenshots and API key remain fully accessible.
