🌍

  • Post-deploy visual audit across hundreds of landing pages
  • Detect accidentally noindexed pages or broken structured data
  • Track CMS content changes that affect above-the-fold SEO content

API features you can leverage

ScreenshotCenter goes beyond simple screenshots. Use these features to build complete SEO audit workflows.

Extract SEO data with trackers

Use trackers to extract meta titles, descriptions, canonical URLs, and any DOM element — returned as structured data alongside the screenshot.

GET /api/screenshot/create?url=https://example.com
  &trackers[0][name]=meta_title
  &trackers[0][selector]=title
  &trackers[0][type]=text
  &trackers[1][name]=meta_description
  &trackers[1][selector]=meta[name="description"]
  &trackers[1][type]=attribute
  &trackers[1][attribute]=content
  &trackers[2][name]=canonical
  &trackers[2][selector]=link[rel="canonical"]
  &trackers[2][type]=attribute
  &trackers[2][attribute]=href

Returns structured JSON with each tracker value alongside the screenshot — no extra scraping step needed.

Inject JavaScript for timestamps

Use script_inline to inject JavaScript that adds a visible timestamp and URL overlay to the screenshot — useful for audit evidence.

script_inline=(function() {
  var d = new Date();
  var div = document.createElement("div");
  div.style = "position:fixed;top:0;left:0;right:0;
    height:30px;background:#000;color:#fff;
    font-size:12px;padding:6px 12px;z-index:999999";
  div.textContent = d.toISOString() + " — "
    + document.location.href;
  document.body.prepend(div);
})()

The timestamp is burned into the screenshot image itself, making it self-documenting audit evidence.

Date-organized cloud storage

Use the apps parameter with date placeholders to organize screenshots by date in your cloud storage.

apps[s3]=seo-audits/{yyyy}/{mm}/{dd}/{domain}.png
apps[google-drive]=SEO/{yyyy}-{mm}-{dd}/{domain}.png

Screenshots are delivered to organized folders automatically — seo-audits/2026/03/16/example.com.png

Country routing for geo-SEO

Pass the country parameter to capture from any of 80+ countries. Verify hreflang, localized content, and geo-redirects.

GET /api/screenshot/create?url=https://example.com
  &country=fr    # Capture from France
  &language=fr-FR
  &hide_popups=1 # Remove cookie banners

See exactly what French users see — language, currency, cookie banners, and geo-targeted content.

Frequently asked questions
