Take your first screenshot

Capture in the dashboard

1. Sign in to the dashboard and select the organization you want to use.
2. Open Screenshots → Playground, enter a full public website URL, and choose the viewport and output format.
3. Capture the page and inspect the result. Use a simple page first so you can distinguish setup problems from site-specific problems.

Capture with the API

Create a key in API Keys. Store it in an environment variable on your server. The full key is shown when it is created; the short identifier shown later is not a usable API key.

curl -X POST "https://api.allscreenshots.com/v1/screenshots" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $ALLSCREENSHOTS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"url":"https://example.com","format":"png"}' \
  --output screenshot.png

Choose the response

A binary response returns the file itself. Use responseType: "url" for a JSON response containing a stored download URL, or responseType: "base64" for inline image data. Check the HTTP status before saving the body as an image: an error response contains JSON.
