Questions about the API

What viewport sizes are supported?
You can specify any width and height up to 4K resolution. Common presets include mobile (375x667), tablet (768x1024), and desktop (1920x1080).
Does it render JavaScript content?
Yes, we use a full browser engine that executes JavaScript, so dynamic content, SPAs, and interactive elements are captured accurately.
Can I capture full-page screenshots?
Yes, set fullpage=true to capture the entire scrollable page, not just the viewport.
What image format is returned?
Screenshots are returned as PNG files for high quality. The response includes a download URL valid for 24 hours.
How long does a screenshot take?
Most screenshots complete in 2-5 seconds depending on page complexity. We wait for the page to fully load before capturing.
Can I capture pages behind login?
The API captures publicly accessible pages. For authenticated pages, you would need to handle authentication in your own application.
