ApiFlash

API

Chrome-based screenshot API for developers

Overview

ApiFlash is a Chrome-powered screenshot API that enables developers to capture full-page or partial screenshots of any website. Its core endpoint accepts parameters like target URL, viewport dimensions, image format (PNG/JPG), delay for dynamic content, and device emulation. Successful responses return direct image files or URLs; errors are delivered in JSON. Use cases include generating website previews, monitoring UI changes, creating documentation assets, archiving web content, and integrating screenshot functionality into apps—leveraging Chrome’s headless engine for accurate dynamic content rendering.

Example Integration (JavaScript)
