What makes Wikipedia hard to capture
Wikipedia is one of the easiest sites to capture — no bot wall, no cookie banner. The only thing to plan for is length: articles can run very long, so use full-page capture, optionally with maxHeight, to control how much of the page you get.
- Very long pages
- Tables of contents

--output screenshot.pngFAQ
Can you screenshot Wikipedia with an API?
Yes. Send any Wikipedia article URL to the Allscreenshots API and you get back a PNG of the rendered page — no browser to run.
How do I capture a full Wikipedia article?
Add fullPage: true and the API scrolls the whole article and stitches it into one tall image. Use maxHeight to cap how tall the capture gets on very long articles.
Do I need stealth mode for Wikipedia?
No. Wikipedia has no bot wall, so a standard capture works and counts toward the 100 free screenshots on every plan.
Can I capture Wikipedia in another language?
Yes. Point the url at the language edition you want, such as the de.wikipedia.org or ja.wikipedia.org version of an article.
