Documentation Overview

shotanvil-examples

Usage examples and a live-synced OpenAPI spec copy for the shotanvil screenshot API — 1 screenshot = 1 request, a free tier that's actually free, from $9/mo.

Base URL: https://api.shotanvil.com

Access paths

GET /take and POST /render-html accept three access paths, checked in this order:

x402 — send an X-Payment header (pay-per-call, no signup, testnet-settled).
API key — send X-Api-Key: <key> or ?access_key=<key>.
Keyless — no credential, IP-rate-limited, only when the operator has keyless access enabled.

An invalid API key always fails with 401 and never falls through to keyless, even when keyless is enabled — a typo'd paying key never silently downgrades to a lower tier.

Get an API key at shotanvil.com.

Quickstart

Take a screenshot:

Terminal

curl "https://api.shotanvil.com/take?url=https://example.com" \
  -H "X-Api-Key: $SHOTANVIL_API_KEY" \
  -o screenshot.png

Get text + metadata as JSON instead of raw bytes:

Terminal

curl "https://api.shotanvil.com/take?url=https://example.com&response_format=json" \
  -H "X-Api-Key: $SHOTANVIL_API_KEY"

Render inline HTML:

Terminal

curl -X POST https://api.shotanvil.com/render-html \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-Api-Key: $SHOTANVIL_API_KEY" \
  -d '{"html": "<html><body><h1>Hello</h1></body></html>"}' \
  -o out.png

More runnable examples: examples/curl.sh, examples/node/screenshot.mjs.

Common `GET /take` parameters

Param	Type	Notes
`url`	string, required	Target page URL, http/https only.
`format`	string	`png` (default), `jpeg`, `webp`, or `pdf`.
`full_page`	bool	Capture the full scrollable page height, not just the viewport.
`viewport_width` / `viewport_height`	int	320–3840 / 240–2160.
`cache_ttl`	int	Seconds to cache this exact render, 0–86400.
`fresh`	bool	Bypass the cache read for this request.
`block_ads`	bool	Block ad-network requests via an EasyList-derived blocklist.
`block_cookie_banners`	bool	Inject a CSS kill-list that hides common cookie-consent banners.
`dark_mode`	bool	Emulate `prefers-color-scheme: dark` before navigation.
`response_format`	string	`binary` (default) returns raw bytes; `json` wraps image (base64) + extracted text/metadata.

Full parameter reference, request/response schemas, and every field's worked example live in openapi.json — open it in any OpenAPI viewer (e.g. editor.swagger.io) for the browsable version.

Rate limits

Each API key has a per-second rate limit and a daily call cap. GET /usage reports the current key's usage for the day. Exceeding either returns 429 with a retry_after_s field.

Keeping `openapi.json` in sync

openapi.json in this repo is a point-in-time copy, fetched from the live GET https://api.shotanvil.com/openapi.json endpoint — it is not hand-written and will drift as the API evolves.

Before relying on it for anything beyond casual browsing, or before any future update to this repo, re-fetch and diff:

Terminal

curl -sS https://api.shotanvil.com/openapi.json -o /tmp/openapi.latest.json
diff openapi.json /tmp/openapi.latest.json

If they differ, review the diff, replace openapi.json with the fresh copy, and commit — do not hand-edit openapi.json directly.
