API

Instant screen capture saving and sharing API

Overview

The Gyazo API lets developers integrate instant screen capture storage and sharing into apps. Key endpoints include uploading captures (via image data or URLs), retrieving user capture lists, fetching capture details (URL, timestamp, metadata), and deleting captures. Responses are in JSON format. Use cases: Automate screenshot sharing for bug reporting, embed Gyazo links in docs, integrate capture workflows into team productivity tools for seamless visual collaboration, or build custom screenshot tools with cloud backup.
