Your First Capture

From zero to your first screenshot in under a minute. One endpoint, three steps.

Everything in ScreenshotAPI goes through a single endpoint:

GET / POST  https://screenshotcore.com/api/v1/screenshot

Step 1: Get your API key

Sign up and find your key under Dashboard → API Keys. Every request must include it.

Step 2: Make a request

Pass your key and the URL you want to capture:

curl "https://screenshotcore.com/api/v1/screenshot?access_key=YOUR_KEY&url=https://example.com" --output screenshot.png

That's it. The response is a raw PNG binary.

Step 3: Get the result

By default the API streams the image directly. Add response_type=json to get a hosted URL and metadata instead:

curl "https://screenshotcore.com/api/v1/screenshot?access_key=YOUR_KEY&url=https://example.com&response_type=json"

From here, explore the sidebar: First Capture shows focused use-case examples. Capture Options covers all parameters in detail.
