Abstract API Website Screenshot

API

Programmatic web page screenshot API for any public website

Overview

The Abstract API Website Screenshot API enables developers to capture screenshots of web pages programmatically via a RESTful endpoint. Users send a target URL with optional parameters (viewport dimensions, full-page capture, image format like PNG/JPG, delay for dynamic content) to generate screenshots. Responses are JSON-formatted, including a temporary URL to the captured image. Ideal use cases: website monitoring, CMS preview generation, responsive design testing, marketing asset creation, and web content archiving. It handles dynamic content and eliminates the need for local browser management.
