HTTP Status Codes

Capture a Full Webpage — From Top to Bottom

Provide any URL, select your file format (PNG, JPG, etc.) with setting full_page to true, and the API will return a full-page screenshot, including content far below the fold — no stitching or manual scrolling needed.Note: "Full-page" refers to the entire HTML-rendered page, not just the visible viewport.

curl --location --request GET 'https://api.apifreaks.com/v1.0/screenshot?url=http://github.com&full_page=true&apiKey=API-KEY'
# Response
          {
            "screenshot": "https://s3.eu-central-2.wasabisys.com/w.storage.apifreaks.com/github_com_386253d75a6c.png",
            "url": "http://github.com",
            "created_at": "2025-06-02T12:48:20.882Z",
            "full_page": "true",
            "format": "json",
            "ttl": "2025-07-02T12:48:13.420Z",
            "sizes": null
          }

# Response
          

Take a Scrolling Screenshot (As GIF, MP4, or WebM)

For pages that scroll or load dynamically, enable scrolling screenshot mode by setting scrolling to true. You can:

• Choose output format: gif, mp4, or webm
• Set scroll speed: slow, normal, or fast
• Define duration (up to 100 seconds)
• Optionally scroll back or start the animation immediately

curl --location --request GET 'https://api.apifreaks.com/v1.0/screenshot?scrolling=true&url=https%3A%2F%2Ftweetstorm.ai&apiKey=API_KEY'
# Response
          {
            "screenshot": "https://s3.eu-central-2.wasabisys.com/w.storage.apifreaks.com/tweetstorm_ai_06738d18d962.png",
            "url": "https://tweetstorm.ai",
            "created_at": "2025-06-02T13:02:23.015Z",
            "scrolling": "true",
            "format": "json",
            "ttl": "2025-07-02T13:02:20.410Z",
            "sizes": null
          }

Simulate Any Device or Browser

Want to see how your page looks on mobile, tablet, or desktop? Just set the browser width and height directly in your API call to match any screen size. You can also define a user-agent string to emulate specific browsers or devices.

curl --location --request GET 'https://api.apifreaks.com/v1.0/screenshot?url=https%3A%2F%2Ftweetstorm.ai&width=1000&height=500&apiKey=API_KEY'
# Response
          {
            "screenshot": "https://s3.eu-central-2.wasabisys.com/w.storage.apifreaks.com/tweetstorm_ai_ff8d33dec6a3.png",
            "url": "https://tweetstorm.ai",
            "created_at": "2025-06-02T13:14:57.921Z",
            "width": "1000",
            "height": "500",
            "format": "json",
            "ttl": "2025-07-02T13:14:55.613Z",
            "sizes": null
          }

Customize the Page Before Capture with CSS/JS

Inject your own CSS or JavaScript by leveraging parameters like css, css_url, js or js_url to modify the page before the screenshot is taken. Hide elements, tweak styles, test layouts, or highlight sections — no manual editing required after the fact.

curl --location --request GET 'https://api.apifreaks.com/v1.0/screenshot?css_url=https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/twitter-bootstrap/5.3.0/css/bootstrap.min.css&url=tweetstorm.ai&apiKey=API_KEY'
# Response
          {
            "screenshot": "https://s3.eu-central-2.wasabisys.com/w.storage.apifreaks.com/tweetstorm_ai_bea809ec1e77.png",
            "url": "http://tweetstorm.ai",
            "created_at": "2025-06-02T14:02:27.997Z",

            "sizes": null
          }

Block Annoying Ads and Cookie Banners

Enable built-in ad and banner blocking to automatically remove overlays, modals, and cookie prompts — so your screenshots stay clean, focused, and ready for documentation or sharing. Use parameters like no_cookie_banners, block_ads etc.

curl --location --request GET 'https://api.apifreaks.com/v1.0/screenshot?url=https%3A%2F%2Ftweetstorm.ai&no_cookie_banners=true&block_ads=true&apiKey=API_KEY'
# Response
          {
            "screenshot": "https://s3.eu-central-2.wasabisys.com/w.storage.apifreaks.com/tweetstorm_ai_5dcc71238813.png",
            "url": "https://tweetstorm.ai",
            "created_at": "2025-06-02T15:33:00.899Z",

            "sizes": null
          }

Simulate Location with Geolocation Settings

Enter a latitude and longitude to capture how a webpage renders for users in specific regions, perfect for testing language settings, pricing localization, or compliance visuals.
Example: Latitude: 51.5074, Longitude: -0.1278 (London)

curl --location --request GET 'https://api.apifreaks.com/v1.0/screenshot?url=http://github.com&latitude=51.5074&logitude=-0.1278&apiKey=API_KEY'
# Response
          {
            "screenshot": "https://s3.eu-central-2.wasabisys.com/w.storage.apifreaks.com/github_com_bde2b41f63da.png",
            "url": "http://github.com",
            "created_at": "2025-06-02T13:56:08.168Z",
            "latitude": "51.5074",
            "logitude": "-0.1278",
            "format": "json",
            "ttl": "2025-07-02T13:56:05.147Z",
            "sizes": null
          }

Route Traffic Through a Proxy

Use a proxy address to simulate requests from different countries or network types. This helps test geo-blocked content, local SEO variations, or IP-based user flows — all programmatically.
Format: user: password@your-proxy.com:port
