Modern websites lazy-load images, animate content in, and hide behind cookie banners. A real browser renders all of it — this is the plain building block underneath every screenshot, diff, and analysis feature.
curl -X POST https://api.prod.ss.snapshot-site.com/api/v1/screenshotx-snapshotsiteapi-key: YOUR_API_KEYMost screenshot problems aren't about the API call — they're about timing and page state. These are the parameters that handle the cases a naive capture gets wrong.
Give lazy-loaded images and async content time to settle before the capture fires.
Strip consent banners and any other element you don't want in the frame.
Capture the whole scrolled page when the content below the fold matters.
Choose PNG for lossless diffing, WebP for lighter web-embedded assets, or PDF for a document instead of an image.
Get an API key from the console
POST a URL to /api/v1/screenshot with a width and height
Add hideCookie and fullSize for a clean, full-length capture
Add delay or move to /api/v2/screenshot if the page needs cleanup first
