A website URL in.
A useful image out.
Generate screenshots for your reports, previews and QA workflows using a paid workspace API key and the same render allowance as the app.
Capture automation, connected to your workspace
Use a server-side API key to generate images for reports, QA handoffs or support workflows. API keys are included with paid workspaces; renders share the monthly app allowance.
Choose a capture mode
Use viewport, full page, CSS selector, vertical offset or a section by height. Device presets include desktop, tablet and mobile; choose custom for explicit dimensions. Set dimensions from 320–2560 pixels wide and 200–2000 pixels high. Captures use the public website’s default appearance; viewport presets are not real-device testing.
Request, inspect, retrieve
The Hostinger app performs a bounded capture attempt, then returns HTTP 202 with a completed job ID and status URL. Read the status and fetch the authenticated PNG. Provider failures refund the reserved credit. There is no persistent capture queue or automatic provider retry in this release.
Build against the complete reference
Read authentication rules, request parameters, examples and HTTP errors in the dedicated API documentation. The developer hub explains the integration workflow.
Know your limits
Pro includes 500 monthly renders and Team includes 2,000, shared by API and app. Submissions are limited to 15 per minute per workspace. Temporary results expire after one hour. Store the image before expiry and avoid blind retries after a client timeout.
Compare the tool to the job
If you need a screenshot API, evaluate response contracts and result retention. If you need CI assertions, real-device testing or automated visual regression, that is a broader scope. See our URLShot evaluation guide and BrowserStack scope comparison.
Signed screenshot image URLs
Generate expiring PNG links for embeds and thumbnails, with mandatory target-domain whitelists and optional embedding-host checks. Choose desktop, mobile, tablet or custom dimensions, full page or a section by height, and a scroll offset. Read direct URL documentation →
Frequently asked questions
Is the API free?
Free includes local captures and 200 MB personal cloud storage. Server rendering requires Pro or Team. API keys require a paid workspace; there is no separate free API key tier.
Does the create request return an image?
It returns JSON with a completed job ID after the capture attempt. Read its status URL and fetch the authenticated PNG result.
Do failures consume credits?
Failed provider jobs refund the reserved credit once. A lost client response can still represent a successful render; there is no idempotency-key contract.
