📸 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.

Remember: If you need a custom scraping or screenshotting solution, leave a request in the Issues tab with your contact details!
