Screenshot Capture | Python

Learn how to take a screenshot of a page when scraping with ScraperAPI in Python. 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 requests
payload = {'api_key': 'APIKEY', 'screenshot': 'true', 'url':'https://example.com/'}
r = requests.get('https://api.scraperapi.com', params=payload)
print(r.text)
print("\nResponse Headers:")
for key, value in r.headers.items():
print(f"{key}: {value}")

• ASYNC REQUEST

import requests
url = 'https://async.scraperapi.com/batchjobs'
data = {
    'apiKey': 'API_KEY',
    'url': 'https://example.com/',
    'apiParams': {
        'screenshot': 'true'
    }
}
r = requests.post(url=url, json=data)
print(r.text)
