AllScreenshots API

AllScreenshots is a powerful screenshot API that lets you capture high-quality images of any website programmatically. Whether you need to generate social media previews, create visual testing snapshots, or build a link preview service, our API handles the complexity of rendering web pages so you don't have to.

Quick example

Capture a screenshot with a single API call:

curl -X POST 'https://api.allscreenshots.com/v1/screenshots' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"url": "https://example.com"}'

The API returns the screenshot image directly, ready to use.
