If you are new to the API, this guide walks through the entire process from account creation to your first saved screenshot.

Step 1: Create a free account

Sign up and grab your personal API key from the dashboard — no credit card required to get started.

Step 2: Make your first request

GET /api/screenshot?url=https://example.com&key=YOUR_API_KEY

Step 3: Add parameters as needed

Once the basic request works, layer in options like full_page, format, or width and height to fine-tune the result.

Step 4: Automate it

Wrap the request in a script, cron job, or backend service to integrate screenshots into your own product.

That's it — from zero to a working integration in a few minutes.
