Screenshot API

Capture screenshots of any public URL. Returns a job ID for async processing.

TL;DR: POST a URL, get a PNG. ForgeKit handles headless Chrome, scaling, and retries.

Endpoint: POST /api/v1/screenshot

Overview

The Screenshot API renders any public URL in headless Chrome and returns a pixel-perfect image. Use it for visual regression, OG fallbacks, competitive monitoring, and AI agent browsing. Supports custom viewports, wait conditions, ad blocking, and cookie injection for authenticated pages.

Async jobs

Long-running captures return a job ID. Poll GET /api/v1/jobs/{id} or configure a webhook for completion notification. Ideal for CI pipelines and batch processing.
