Frequently Asked Questions

Does the API support full-page screenshots?
Yes, Geekflare API capture website screenshot of entire landing page without any cut-offs.

What capture file formats Screenshot API supports?
Our web screenshot api supports high-quality output in PNG, JPG, and WebP formats. You can specify your preferred image format within your API request.

Can I capture only specific areas using the Screenshot API?
Yes. Using our screen capture api, you have full control over what gets captured. You can define custom viewport dimensions to simulate specific devices, or you can pass specific CSS selectors to clip the image.

Is screenshot capture legal?
Generally, yes, but it depends on your use case. When you screenshot website pages for personal use, archiving, or fair use, it is typically legal. However, capturing and republishing copyrighted material, sensitive user data, or paywalled content for commercial gain without permission may violate copyright laws.

Why should I use a Website Screenshot API instead of manually taking website screenshots?
Manual capture is fine for personal use, but it doesn't scale. By implementing a website screenshot api, you completely automate the capture process. This allows you to generate thousands of thumbnails, archive web pages, or monitor competitor sites without maintaining headless browser infrastructure yourself. It saves your engineering team countless hours and ensures reliability.

Do I need coding experience to use a Screenshot API?
No, you do not need coding experience to get started! While developers can integrate our webpage screenshot api into their codebase, non-technical users have great options too. You can use our API Playground to take screenshot. For automating workflows, you can use no-code integrated apps like Zapier. We already have pre-built Zaps available.

How long are the screenshot URLs valid?
The generated Geekflare CDN URLs are valid for 30 days. After this period, the images are automatically deleted. If your business requires longer retention periods, please contact us.

How much does a screenshot request cost?
Generating a screenshot consumes 5 credits per request.

Why is the API unable to screenshot certain sites?
This usually happens when the target site uses sophisticated security measures, WAFs, or IP rate limiting to block automated traffic.
