Screenshotlayer

Overview

Screenshotlayer captures website screenshots — key-based (an invalid key returns HTTP 200 with success:false, verified).

Quick Start

Capture (replace YOUR_KEY):

curl "https://api.screenshotlayer.com/api/capture?access_key=YOUR_KEY&url=https://example.com"

{ "success": true, "url": "https://api.screenshotlayer.com/thumbnails/..." }

Authentication

• Register at screenshotlayer.com → API key.
• Send it as the access_key query parameter.

⚠️ Gotcha (verified): invalid keys return HTTP 200 with success:false + error code 101 — check the success field, not the status code.

Rate Limits & Notes

• Free tier: 100 screenshots/month (check the docs); paid plans scale.
• Options: width, viewport, format.

FAQ

Is Screenshotlayer free? Free tier: 100/month; more is paid.

Why 200 with success:false? Errors come as 200 + success:false (verified) — check success.

What’s the auth style? access_key query parameter.
