What makes BBC hard to capture
The BBC shows a consent banner and serves different content to UK and international visitors. blockCookieBanners clears the banner, and the page you capture reflects the region the request resolves to — no stealth mode needed.
- Consent banner
- Geo content
- Lazy loading

--output screenshot.pngFAQ
Can you screenshot the BBC with an API?
Yes. Send a bbc.com URL to the Allscreenshots API and you get back a PNG of the rendered news page — no browser to run.
How do I remove the BBC consent banner from a screenshot?
Set blockCookieBanners: true and the consent prompt is dismissed before capture, so it never appears in the image.
Do I need stealth mode for the BBC?
No. BBC pages render with a standard capture, so stealth mode is not needed — and they count toward the 100 free screenshots on every plan.
Can I archive BBC News articles on a schedule?
Yes. Pair a standard capture with scheduled captures to snapshot a story or the front page at a regular interval and keep a dated record.
Capture BBC.
