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.

Response formats

The API supports three response formats:

Binary (default): Returns the raw image data with the appropriate content type header
Base64: Returns JSON with the image data as a base64-encoded string
URL: Stores the image on the CDN and returns a JSON response with a download URL

Set responseType to "base64" or "url" in your request to change the response format.

For multi-format extraction, use the outputs array to request screenshots, PDFs, HTML, markdown, and structured JSON from a single page load.
