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