Server-side rendering checks
Verify SSR output, OG images, and meta tags by capturing the rendered page from 80+ countries.
JavaScript Screenshot API for Node.js, Browser Automation, and PDF
Integrate web capture into any Node.js application — Express, Next.js, Fastify, serverless functions, or CLI tools. Capture screenshots, generate PDFs, record videos, and extract HTML. Fully typed with TypeScript support.
What you can build
Authenticated pages
Automate login flows with click, type, and navigate steps before the capture — no Puppeteer scripts needed.
PDF generation
Convert any web page to a formatted PDF with paper size, margin, and landscape controls — one API call from Node.js.
CI/CD visual snapshots
Capture visual baselines in your GitHub Actions or Jenkins pipeline and store results in S3 or Google Drive.
What the API handles for you
Every output format
PNG, JPEG, WebP, full-page PDF, raw HTML, and video screencasts from one endpoint.
Automation steps
Click, type, scroll, navigate, and wait before capture — handle logins, cookie banners, and dynamic content.
80+ country routing
Render geo-gated pages from real browsers in any target country.
14+ app integrations
Deliver results to S3, Google Drive, Dropbox, Slack, and more — no upload code needed.
Batch & crawl
Capture entire sitemaps or crawl domains with built-in retries and progress tracking.
On-premise browsers
Run browser clients inside your network for compliance or latency requirements.

Frequently asked questions
Is this a Puppeteer replacement?
For screenshot, PDF, and video capture — yes. ScreenshotCenter manages the browser fleet, retries, and scaling. You just call the API.
Does it work with TypeScript?
Yes. The SDK ships with full TypeScript type definitions out of the box.
Can I use it in serverless functions?
Absolutely. The SDK makes a simple HTTP call — there are no browser binaries to bundle. It works in AWS Lambda, Vercel, Cloudflare Workers, and any Node.js runtime.
How do I capture a page behind a login?
Pass automation steps to click through login forms, wait for redirects, and capture the authenticated page — all in one API request.
