Skärmbild API

Ta skärmbilder, generera PDF:er och övervaka visuella förändringar för vilken URL som helst — med enhetsemulering, annonsblockering och vattenstämplar.

Vad kan du göra?
URL- och HTML-skärmbilder

Fånga valfri URL eller anpassad HTML som PNG, JPG, WebP med enhetsemulering, helsideläge och retina-stöd.

PDF-generering

Generera PDF:er med anpassat sidformat, orientering, marginaler, sidhuvud och sidfot.

Mass- och schemalagd fångst

Bearbeta upp till 50 URL:er i en enda begäran. Schemalägg återkommande fångster med cron-uttryck och förändringsdetektering.

Visuell jämförelse och övervakning

Jämför skärmbilder pixel för pixel. Få skillnadsprocent, ändrade regioner och e-postvarningar vid visuella förändringar.

Annons- och cookieblockering

Blockera annonser, cookiesamtyckebanners, chattwidgetar och spårningsskript. Injicera anpassad CSS/JS för rena fångster.

Prestandamätningar

Fånga Core Web Vitals — LCP, FCP, CLS, TTI, TTFB och resursuppdelning.

Screenshot API — Practical Guide

A comprehensive guide to the Screenshot API: capture URLs and HTML as images or PDFs; process bulk batches; schedule recurring captures with visual change detection; and compare screenshots with pixel-level diffs.

#What the Screenshot API does

The Screenshot API turns any URL or HTML into a high-quality image or PDF. It handles viewport emulation, device presets, ad/cookie blocking, CSS/JS injection, watermarks, and more — so you don't have to manage browser infrastructure yourself.

  • 20+ device presets — iPhone, iPad, Pixel, Galaxy, MacBook, desktop resolutions.
  • Sync & async modes — get results immediately or queue jobs and poll for status.
  • Visual monitoring — schedule captures and get email alerts when pages change visually.
  • Webhooks — receive POST notifications when async jobs complete.

#Endpoints & actions

#Quick start examples

#Basic screenshot

curl -s -X POST "https://screenshots.yeb.to/v1/screenshot/capture" \
  -H "X-API-Key: YOUR_KEY" \
  -d "url=https://example.com&format=png"

#Mobile device screenshot

curl -s -X POST "https://screenshots.yeb.to/v1/screenshot/capture" \
  -H "X-API-Key: YOUR_KEY" \
  -d "url=https://example.com&device=iphone-15&full_page=true"

#Clean capture with blocking

curl -s -X POST "https://screenshots.yeb.to/v1/screenshot/capture" \
  -H "X-API-Key: YOUR_KEY" \
  -d "url=https://news-site.com&block_ads=true&block_cookie_banners=true&block_chat_widgets=true&block_tracking=true"

#Async capture with webhook

curl -s -X POST "https://screenshots.yeb.to/v1/screenshot/capture" \
  -H "X-API-Key: YOUR_KEY" \
  -d "url=https://example.com&async=true&webhook_url=https://yoursite.com/webhook"

# Response: {"success":true,"job_id":12345,"status":"queued"}
# Your webhook will receive a POST when the job completes.

#Key parameters explained

#Viewport & device

  • viewport_width / viewport_height — Set exact dimensions (320-3840 x 200-2160).
  • device — Use a preset like iphone-15 to auto-set viewport, pixel density, and user agent. Overrides manual viewport settings.
  • full_page — Capture the entire scrollable page, not just the visible viewport. Adds 0.03 credits.
  • retina — Render at 2x pixel density for sharp images. Adds 0.03 credits.

#Blocking options

  • block_ads — Blocks requests to known ad networks (Google Ads, DoubleClick, etc.).
  • block_cookie_banners — Removes common cookie consent overlays (OneTrust, CookieBot, etc.).
  • block_chat_widgets — Hides Intercom, Drift, Zendesk, and other chat widgets.
  • block_tracking — Blocks analytics and tracking scripts (Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, etc.).

#Element targeting

  • selector — Capture only a specific CSS element (e.g. #hero-section).
  • click_selectors — Click elements before capture (accept cookies, close popups).
  • blur_selectors — Apply CSS blur to sensitive content.
  • remove_selectors — Remove elements entirely from the DOM.

#Output format

  • Images: png (default, lossless), jpg (smaller), webp (best compression).
  • Documents: pdf — with page format, orientation, margins, headers/footers.
  • quality — 1-100 for JPG/WebP (default: 80). Higher = larger file, better quality.
  • thumbnail_width — Auto-generate a thumbnail (50-800px wide).

#Async mode & webhooks

For heavy operations (bulk jobs, PDF generation), use async=true to queue the job. You have two options to get the result:

  1. Polling: Call /status with the job_id every 2-5 seconds until status is completed or failed.
  2. Webhook: Set webhook_url and your server will receive a POST with the full result when the job finishes. Includes retry logic (3 attempts).
// Webhook payload example
{
  "event": "screenshot.completed",
  "job_id": 12345,
  "status": "completed",
  "url": "https://cdn.yeb.to/.../screenshot.png",
  "file_size": 245678,
  "timestamp": "2026-02-06T12:00:03Z"
}

#Bulk screenshot processing

Send up to 50 URLs in a single /bulk request. Each URL can have individual settings, plus you can set default_settings applied to all. URLs are processed in parallel.

curl -s -X POST "https://screenshots.yeb.to/v1/screenshot/bulk" \
  -H "X-API-Key: YOUR_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "urls": [
      {"url": "https://site1.com", "device": "iphone-15"},
      {"url": "https://site2.com", "format": "jpg", "quality": 90},
      {"url": "https://site3.com"}
    ],
    "default_settings": {
      "block_ads": true,
      "full_page": true
    }
  }'

#Scheduled captures & visual monitoring

Create automated schedules to capture pages at any frequency. Enable change detection to compare each capture with the previous one. When the visual difference exceeds your threshold, you get an email alert.

curl -s -X POST "https://screenshots.yeb.to/v1/screenshot/schedule-create" \
  -H "X-API-Key: YOUR_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "name": "Daily Homepage Check",
    "url": "https://mysite.com",
    "cron_expression": "daily",
    "timezone": "Europe/Sofia",
    "detect_changes": true,
    "change_threshold": 5.0,
    "notify_on_change": true,
    "notify_email": "[email protected]",
    "screenshot_settings": {
      "full_page": true,
      "block_ads": true
    }
  }'

#Visual diff comparison

Compare any two completed screenshot jobs. The API generates a diff image highlighting changed pixels in red, and returns the difference percentage and bounding boxes of changed regions.

  • difference_percent — 0.00 means identical, 100.00 means completely different.
  • diff_regions — Array of {x, y, width, height} bounding boxes for changed areas.
  • diff_image_url — A PNG overlay showing changes in red against a dimmed background.

#Credit pricing breakdown

Each action has a base credit cost. Modifiers like full_page, retina, and 4K viewports add to the base. Check the endpoint documentation for exact pricing. Status, device list, and schedule list endpoints are free.

#Troubleshooting & tips

  1. Timeouts: Increase timeout_ms for slow pages (max 60000). Use delay_ms to wait for lazy-loaded content.
  2. Blank screenshots: Some SPAs need delay_ms=2000 or more. Try lazy_load=true for infinite scroll pages.
  3. Cookie walls: Use click_selectors=["#accept-cookies"] to auto-accept consent dialogs before capture.
  4. Large pages: Full-page captures of very long pages may take 10+ seconds. Use async=true for reliability.
  5. Watermarks: Add text watermarks via the watermark parameter with custom position and opacity.
  6. Rate limits: Default burst is 10 req/s. For bulk operations, use the /bulk endpoint instead of parallel single requests.

Vanliga frågor

Du kan ta skärmbilder som PNG, JPG eller WebP. PDF-generering stöder A4, A3, Letter och Legal med anpassade marginaler, sidhuvud och sidfot.

När full_page är aktiverat scrollar webbläsaren till sidans botten och fångar hela dokumenthöjden. För sidor med lazy-loaded innehåll, kombinera med lazy_load=true så att bilder och element triggas under scrollning.

Ja. Ange en enhetsförinställning (t.ex. iphone-15, ipad-pro-12.9, galaxy-s24-ultra) och API:t ställer automatiskt in rätt viewport, pixeldensitet och user agent. Använd /devices-endpointen för att lista alla förinställningar.

Du kan blockera annonser, cookiesamtyckebanners, chattwidgetar, spårningsskript, JavaScript, CSS, bilder, media och typsnitt. Du kan också ange anpassade URL-mönster för att blockera specifika resurser.

En enda massbegäran accepterar upp till 50 URL:er. Varje URL bearbetas parallellt och du kan fråga bulk-status-endpointen eller ställa in en webhook för att bli meddelad när alla fångster är klara.

Skapa ett schema med en frekvens (varje timme, dagligen, veckovis osv.). API:t kör fångsten automatiskt och kan jämföra på varandra följande körningar för att upptäcka visuella förändringar över en konfigurerbar tröskel.

Diff-endpointen jämför två skärmbilder pixel för pixel och returnerar skillnadsprocent, antal ändrade pixlar, påverkade regioner och en markerad skillnadsbild. Kombinera med scheman för automatiserad visuell regressionsövervakning.

Varje åtgärd har en baskreditkostnad. Modifierare som full_page, retina och 4K adderas till baskostnaden. Status-, enhetslista- och schemalistaendpoints är gratis. Se endpointdokumentationen för exakta värden.

Som standard körs fångster synkront och returnerar resultatet direkt. Ange async=true för att köa jobbet och få ett job_id omedelbart. Fråga /status-endpointen eller ange en webhook_url för att bli meddelad när fångsten är klar.

Ja. Varje förfrågan, även de som resulterar i fel, förbrukar krediter. Dina krediter är kopplade till antalet förfrågningar, oavsett framgång eller misslyckande. Om felet tydligt beror på ett plattformsproblem på vår sida återställer vi de berörda krediterna (ingen kontant återbetalning).

Kontakta oss på [email protected]. Vi tar feedback på allvar—om din felrapport eller funktionsbegäran är meningsfull kan vi snabbt fixa eller förbättra API:et och ge dig 50 gratis krediter som tack.

Det beror på API:et och ibland till och med på endpointen. Vissa endpoints använder data från externa källor, som kan ha striktare gränser. Vi tillämpar också gränser för att förhindra missbruk och hålla vår plattform stabil. Kontrollera dokumentationen för den specifika gränsen för varje endpoint.

Vi arbetar med ett kreditsystem. Krediter är förbetalda, icke-återbetalningsbara enheter du spenderar på API-anrop och verktyg. Krediter förbrukas FIFO (äldst först) och gäller i 12 månader från inköpsdatumet. Instrumentpanelen visar varje inköpsdatum och dess utgång.

Ja. Alla köpta krediter (inklusive bråkdelssaldon) gäller i 12 månader från köpet. Oanvända krediter förfaller automatiskt och raderas permanent i slutet av giltighetsperioden. Förfallna krediter kan inte återställas eller konverteras till kontanter eller annat värde. Övergångsregel: krediter köpta före 22 sept. 2025 behandlas som köpta den 22 sept. 2025 och förfaller den 22 sept. 2026 (om inte ett tidigare utgångsdatum angavs vid köpet).

Ja—inom sin giltighetsperiod. Oanvända krediter förblir tillgängliga och överförs från månad till månad tills de förfaller 12 månader efter köpet.

Krediter är icke-återbetalningsbara. Köp bara det du behöver—du kan alltid fylla på senare. Om ett plattformsfel orsakar en misslyckad debitering kan vi återställa de berörda krediterna efter utredning. Ingen kontant återbetalning.

Priserna anges i krediter, inte i dollar. Varje endpoint har sin egen kostnad—se märket "Krediter / förfrågan" ovan. Du vet alltid exakt vad du spenderar.
