What makes GitHub hard to capture
GitHub renders cleanly without stealth mode. The two things to handle are the cookie banner, which blockCookieBanners removes, and theme — set darkMode to capture the page exactly as a dark-theme user would see it.
- Cookie banner
- Dark mode
- Heavy JavaScript
The request that works
curl -X POST https://api.allscreenshots.com/v1/screenshots \
-H "X-API-Key: $ALLSCREENSHOTS_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"url": "https://github.com",
"darkMode": true,
"blockCookieBanners": true,
"viewport": {
"width": 1440,
"height": 1000
},
"waitUntil": "networkidle",
"delay": 2000
}' \
--output screenshot.pngFAQ
Can you screenshot GitHub with an API?
Yes. Send any github.com URL to the Allscreenshots API and you get back a PNG of the rendered page — repos, profiles, issues, or the homepage — no browser to run.
How do I capture GitHub in dark mode?
Set darkMode: true in the request. The page renders with the dark theme applied, exactly as a dark-mode visitor would see it.
Do I need stealth mode for GitHub?
No. GitHub renders cleanly with a standard capture, so stealth mode is not needed — and GitHub pages count toward the 100 free screenshots on every plan.
Can I screenshot a full GitHub README or repo page?
Yes. Add fullPage: true and the API scrolls the whole page and stitches it into one tall image, top to bottom.
