Workflow Integration

n8n

Connect ScreenshotCenter to your self-hosted n8n instance via webhooks. Build powerful, open-source automation pipelines that trigger the moment screenshot or batch jobs complete — on your own infrastructure, under your own control.

Why n8n?

n8n is a fair-code licensed workflow automation tool you can self-host on any server or run in the cloud. It gives you complete control over your data, with 400+ built-in node integrations and the ability to write custom JavaScript or Python nodes.

How it works

1

Create an n8n workflow with a Webhook trigger

In your n8n instance, create a new workflow and add a Webhook trigger node. Set the HTTP method to POST and copy the webhook URL.
2

Add an n8n app in ScreenshotCenter

Go to Apps → Connect a new app → n8n and paste the n8n webhook URL. Select which events should trigger the workflow.
3

Build your workflow nodes

Add nodes after the webhook trigger to process the event payload — store images, send notifications, update spreadsheets, or call any downstream API.
4

Use the app ID in screenshot requests

Add your n8n app ID to the apps parameter. The workflow triggers automatically when each job finishes.

Quick start

curl "https://api.screenshotcenter.com/api/v1/screenshot/create\
  ?key=YOUR_API_KEY\
  &url=https://example.com\
  &apps=my-n8n-app"

import { ScreenshotCenterClient } from 'screenshotcenter';

const client = new ScreenshotCenterClient(process.env.SCREENSHOTCENTER_API_KEY);

const shot = await client.screenshot.create('https://example.com', {
  apps: ['my-n8n-app'],
});

// n8n workflow receives the screenshot.finished event

from screenshotcenter import ScreenshotCenterClient

client = ScreenshotCenterClient(api_key="YOUR_API_KEY")

shot = client.screenshot.create(
    "https://example.com",
    apps=["my-n8n-app"],
)

# n8n workflow receives the screenshot.finished event

use ScreenshotCenter\Client;

$client = new Client(getenv('SCREENSHOTCENTER_API_KEY'));

$shot = $client->screenshot->create('https://example.com', [
    'apps' => ['my-n8n-app'],
]);

// n8n workflow receives the screenshot.finished event

import sc "github.com/juliensobrier/screenshotcenter-go"

client := sc.New("YOUR_API_KEY")

client.Screenshot.Create("https://example.com", &sc.ScreenshotParams{
    Apps: []string{"my-n8n-app"},
})

// n8n workflow receives the screenshot.finished event

require "screenshotcenter"

client = ScreenshotCenter::Client.new(ENV["SCREENSHOTCENTER_API_KEY"])

client.screenshot.create("https://example.com",
  apps: ["my-n8n-app"],
)

# n8n workflow receives the screenshot.finished event

import io.screenshotcenter.ScreenshotCenterClient;
import io.screenshotcenter.models.*;
import java.util.List;

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        var client = new ScreenshotCenterClient("YOUR_API_KEY");
        client.screenshot().create("https://example.com",
            new ScreenshotParams().apps(List.of("my-n8n-app")));
    }
}

using ScreenshotCenter;

var client = new ScreenshotCenterClient("YOUR_API_KEY");

await client.Screenshot.CreateAsync("https://example.com", new ScreenshotParams {
    Apps = new[] { "my-n8n-app" },
});

// n8n workflow receives the screenshot.finished event

Use cases

On-premise data pipelines

Keep all screenshot data on your own servers — no third-party cloud services required for your automation layer.

Custom code nodes

Use n8n's Code node to run custom JavaScript or Python against the screenshot payload before passing it to the next step.

Internal tooling

Push screenshot data into internal databases, wikis, or dashboards that aren't available as Zapier/Make integrations.

Multi-step enrichment

Combine ScreenshotCenter events with other API calls — AI analysis, WHOIS lookups, or domain scoring — in a single automated flow.

Get started

1. In n8n, create a workflow with a Webhook trigger node (HTTP POST) and copy the URL.
2. In ScreenshotCenter, go to Apps → Connect a new app → n8n and paste the URL.
3. Select the events to fire, activate the workflow, and save the app.
4. Add the app ID to the apps parameter in your screenshot requests.
