Customize Taking a Website Screenshots via ScraperAPI in NodeJS

Learn how to take a screenshot of a page when scraping with ScraperAPI in NodeJS. 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

import request from 'request-promise';
request({
    uri: 'http://api.scraperapi.com/',
    qs: {
        api_key: 'API_KEY',
        screenshot: true,
        url: 'https://example.com/'
},
resolveWithFullResponse: true 
})
.then(response => {
console.log(response);
})
.catch(error => {
console.log(error);
console.log('Response Headers:', response.headers);
});

• ASYNC REQUEST

import axios from 'axios';
(async () => {
  try {
    const { data } = await axios({
      method: 'POST',
      url: 'https://async.scraperapi.com/batchjobs',
      data: {
        apiKey: 'API_KEY',
        url: 'https://example.com/',
        apiParams: {
        screenshot: 'true'
    }
  }
});
console.log(data);
} catch (error) {
console.error(error);
}
})();
