Screenshot

Scraping Fish API allows you to retrieve a screenshot of a webpage as a PNG image file. To do so, you need to provide the screenshot query parameter and set it to true.

note

When a screenshot is returned, no HTML content will be returned.

Example

To get a screenshot of the website example.com, you send a request with screenshot=true query parameter.

Python

import requests

payload = {
  "api_key": "[your API key]",
  "url": "https://www.example.com",
  "screenshot": "true",
}

response = requests.get("https://scraping.narf.ai/api/v1/", params=payload)
with open("./screenshot.png", "wb") as f:
  f.write(response.content)

NodeJS

const axios = require("axios");
const fs = require('fs');

const payload = {
  api_key: "[your API key]",
  url: "https://www.example.com",
  screenshot: "true",
};

await axios.get(
  "https://scraping.narf.ai/api/v1/",
  { params: payload, responseType: "arraybuffer" }
).then(response => {
  fs.writeFileSync("./screenshot.png", Buffer.from(response.data));
})

cURL

curl -G --data-urlencode 'url=https://www.example.com' \
'https://scraping.narf.ai/api/v1/?api_key=[your API key]&screenshot=true' > ./screenshot.png

The resulting website screenshot will be saved to screenshot.png.
