1. Create an account

2. Generate an API key

Go to API Keys in the left menu and click Create API Key. Copy the key — you will only see it once.

3. Take your first screenshot

curl -X POST https://api.screenshotcenter.com/api/v1/screenshot/create \
  -H "X-API-KEY: your_api_key" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{ "url": "https://example.com" }'

The response returns a screenshot_id. Poll GET /api/v1/screenshot/info?id={screenshot_id} until status is finished.

4. Retrieve the screenshot

Once finished, use GET /api/v1/screenshot/thumbnail with the id parameter to get a PNG, JPEG, or WebP image.
