Html To Png Actor

An Apify Actor that captures PNG screenshots from webpages. You provide a URL and optional dimensions, and it returns a PNG image stored in the Apify Key-Value Store.

Key Features

• Captures a screenshot from a single provided URL.
• Configurable browser viewport width and height.
• Output is saved to the run's Apify Key-Value Store.
• Screenshots are automatically purged after 7 days.

Input Configuration

Configure the actor run using these input parameters:

{
  "url": "https://apify.com?fpr=python_automation",
  "width": 1280,
  "height": 720
}

• url (string, required): The webpage URL to capture.
• width (integer, optional): Browser viewport width in pixels. Defaults to 1280.
• height (integer, optional): Browser viewport height in pixels. Defaults to 720.

How to Use

Here's an example using the Apify Python Client to run the actor and download the screenshot.

from apify_client import ApifyClient
import time

# Initialize the client
client = ApifyClient("your_apify_api_token")

# Set up the actor input
run_input = {
    "url": "https://example.com",
    "width": 1024,
    "height": 768,
}

# Execute the actor
run = client.actor("your_actor_id").call(run_input=run_input)

# Access the key-value store for this run
store_client = client.key_value_store(run['defaultKeyValueStoreId'])

# Generate a filename and retrieve the screenshot
screenshot_key = f"screenshot-{int(time.time())}-{run_input['url'].replace('https://', '').replace('http://', '').replace('/', '_')}.png"
record = store_client.get_record_as_bytes(screenshot_key)

if record is not None and 'value' in record:
    with open(screenshot_key, "wb") as f:
        f.write(record['value'])
    print(f"Saved {screenshot_key}")
else:
    print(f"No record found for key: {screenshot_key}")

Output

The actor generates a single PNG screenshot file. The image is stored in the run's default Key-Value Store. You can retrieve it via the Apify Client using the store ID from the run details, as shown in the usage example.
