Screenshot X (Twitter) with an API
X is unpredictable for logged-out automated browsers. Stealth mode reliably returns the real profile and post pages — one request, no browser to run.

What makes X (Twitter) hard to capture
X serves logged-out automated browsers a login prompt or an empty shell instead of the timeline. Stealth mode runs on our own stealth engine, which combines a range of anti-detection tactics and automatically detects when a request is blocked and recovers — so public profiles and posts render.
- Login wall
- Bot detection
- Heavy JavaScript
- Infinite scroll

FAQ
Can you screenshot X (Twitter) with an API?
Yes. Send a public X profile or post URL to the Allscreenshots API with stealth mode on and you get back a PNG of the rendered page — no browser to run.
Why does X block automated screenshots?
X hides most content from logged-out automated browsers and challenges traffic that looks automated. Stealth mode is built to return the real public profile or post.
Can I screenshot X without logging in?
Public profiles and posts capture without an account. Content behind a login needs authenticated session cookies, which you can pass with the request.
Is screenshotting X free?
A reliable X capture uses stealth mode, which is a paid feature — not on the free plan. The Starter plan includes 100 stealth captures per month, and Pro and above include unlimited stealth captures.
