📸 Screenshot API: Smart Capture with CAPTCHA Solver The ultimate visual scraper that doesn't get blocked. Screenshot API goes beyond simple imaging. It navigates to target websites, automatically detects and solves CAPTCHAs, and captures high-definition screenshots of the content you actually want to see. Whether you need desktop, tablet, or mobile views, or a full-page PDF archive, this Actor handles the rendering and scrolling so you don't have to. ----- ### 💡 Need a Custom Solution? > Have a complex use case or specific requirement? > If you need a custom version of this tool or a specific integration, please create a ticket in the Issues tab with your requirements and contact information. I will review it and reach out to you directly to build a solution that fits your needs. ----- ## ✨ Key Features * 🛡️ Auto-Bypass CAPTCHAs: Built-in logic to detect and solve common CAPTCHA challenges, ensuring you screenshot the content, not the "Are you a robot?" screen. * 📱 Multi-Device Emulation: Capture sites exactly as they appear on Desktop, Tablet, or Mobile devices. * 📜 Full Page Capture: Smart scrolling technology captures the entire length of a page, rendering lazy-loaded images before taking the shot. * 📄 PDF Generation: Optionally export any screenshot as a high-quality PDF document perfect for archiving or reporting. * 🚀 Anti-Blocking: Optimized to blend in with real user traffic to minimize blocks. ## 🎯 Use Cases * Competitor Monitoring: Track pricing and visual changes on e-commerce sites that usually block bots. * Archive & Compliance: Generate timestamped PDF proofs of webpages for legal or compliance records. * UX/UI Testing: Verify how your frontend renders across different device viewports (Mobile vs. Desktop). * Social Media Content: Automated generation of preview images for social feeds. ## 📂 Output & Downloads All generated screenshots and PDFs are stored in the Apify Key-Value Store. ### How to access your files: Bulk Download: You can download all your captured images and PDFs at once: * Navigate to the Storage tab of your run. * Select the Key-Value Store. * Click the "Download" button to get a single ZIP file containing all your screenshots. ## 🔧 Technical Details * Wait & Scroll: The actor intelligently waits for network idle states and scrolls through the page to trigger lazy-loading elements (images/videos) before capturing the final image. * Smart Storage: Files are named systematically to ensure they are easy to organize when downloaded in bulk. ## 🤝 Support & Feedback If you encounter any issues or have feature suggestions, please check the "Issues" tab. Remember: If you need a custom scraping or screenshotting solution, leave a request in the Issues tab with your contact details!
