ScreenshotOne Website Screenshot

Overview

Use this skill to capture website screenshots through ScreenshotOne's HTTP API with curl.

Prefer direct curl --get --data-urlencode requests so the command is visible, easy to tweak, and easy to copy into GitHub examples.

Quick Start

Get your API key first:

1. Go to https://screenshotone.com/.
2. Sign up.
3. Visit https://dash.screenshotone.com/access.
4. Copy your access_key.

Set your API key first:

export SCREENSHOTONE_ACCESS_KEY="your_access_key"

Take a basic screenshot:

curl --fail --silent --show-error --location --get \
  --output "example.png" \
  --data-urlencode "url=https://example.com" \
  --data-urlencode "access_key=${SCREENSHOTONE_ACCESS_KEY}" \
  --data-urlencode "format=png" \
  "https://api.screenshotone.com/take"

Take a full-page screenshot with a larger viewport:

curl --fail --silent --show-error --location --get \
  --output "example-full-page.png" \
  --data-urlencode "url=https://example.com" \
  --data-urlencode "access_key=${SCREENSHOTONE_ACCESS_KEY}" \
  --data-urlencode "format=png" \
  --data-urlencode "full_page=true" \
  --data-urlencode "viewport_width=1440" \
  --data-urlencode "viewport_height=2200" \
  "https://api.screenshotone.com/take"

Wait for content and hide UI noise before capture:

curl --fail --silent --show-error --location --get \
  --output "example-clean.png" \
  --data-urlencode "url=https://example.com" \
  --data-urlencode "access_key=${SCREENSHOTONE_ACCESS_KEY}" \
  --data-urlencode "format=png" \
  --data-urlencode "wait_until=networkidle" \
  --data-urlencode "delay=2" \
  --data-urlencode "block_cookie_banners=true" \
  --data-urlencode "hide_selectors=.chat-widget,.newsletter-modal" \
  "https://api.screenshotone.com/take"

Workflow

1. Pick the target URL, output file, and format.
2. Pass credentials through SCREENSHOTONE_ACCESS_KEY.
3. Build the request with curl --get and repeated --data-urlencode "key=value" flags.
4. When choosing options, read references/screenshotone-options.md first.
5. Use only the access key flow in this skill. Do not add signed-request or secret-key handling.

Command Template

Use this pattern for most requests:

curl --fail --silent --show-error --location --get \
  --output "<output-file>" \
  --data-urlencode "url=<target-url>" \
  --data-urlencode "access_key=${SCREENSHOTONE_ACCESS_KEY}" \
  --data-urlencode "format=png" \
  --data-urlencode "<option>=<value>" \
  "https://api.screenshotone.com/take"

Option Selection

Use these groups first:

• Page size and coverage: full_page, viewport_width, viewport_height, selector
• Stability and timing: wait_until, delay, timeout, wait_for_selector
• Cleanup: block_cookie_banners, block_ads, hide_selectors, styles
• Output shaping: format, image_quality, image_width, image_height, omit_background
• Request context: cookies, headers, authorization, proxy, user_agent

If a request needs less common parameters, look them up in references/screenshotone-options.md, then add them as another --data-urlencode "key=value" flag.
