Screenshot Capture | cURL

Learn how to take a screenshot of a page when scraping with ScraperAPI in cURL. Capture page images using screenshot=true. Ideal for monitoring and documentation.

Our Java Script solution now gives you the ability to take a screenshot of the target page through the use of the parameter screenshot=true. This parameter automatically enables JS rendering to get the full page content, before taking a screenshot.

After we serve the response, you can find the screenshot URL in the sa-screenshot response header. The screenshot format is PNG:

• API REQUEST

curl -i "https://api.scraperapi.com/?api_key=API_KEY&screenshot=true&url=https://example.com/"

• ASYNC REQUEST

curl -X POST \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
        "apiKey": "API_KEY",
        "url": "https://example.com/",
        "apiParams": {
          "screenshot": "true"
        }
      }' \
