}Frequently asked questions
Common questions about the Context.dev Screenshot API.
Am I billed for failed requests?
No. You are not billed for failed requests or requests where we are blocked (rarely happens). Credits are only consumed on successful responses.
Can the screenshot API capture full-page screenshots?
Yes. The default is a viewport capture. Set fullScreenshot=true to capture the full scrollable page, or use scrollOffset to capture a long page in viewport-sized chunks.
Can I choose the image format or quality?
The public request does not currently expose format or quality parameters. Use the returned screenshot URL, or enable zero data retention to receive the documented in-memory data URL behavior.
Can I use the screenshot API for OG images and link previews?
Yes — that's a common use case. Generate OG images for blog posts, link previews for chat apps, thumbnail cards for marketplaces, and dashboard tiles for monitoring. The CDN URLs are stable, so cache aggressively at the edge.
How do I take a screenshot of a website with the API?
Send a GET request to /v1/web/scrape/screenshot?url=<page URL>. The API renders the page, captures it, and returns the hosted image location plus the final URL and dimensions.
Does the API support mobile emulation?
Specify custom viewport width and height to exercise responsive layouts. The public request does not expose named device presets or a device-pixel-ratio control.
How is this a Urlbox / ApiFlash / ScreenshotOne alternative?
Same single-call ergonomics — pass URL, get image. But Context.dev bundles the Screenshot API with the rest of the brand-data stack (logos, colors, web scraping, NAICS/SIC) on a single API key. Pricing is per-call with a real free tier; OG-image-style flows often need only the free tier.
Is the screenshot API free?
Yes. Work-email signups get 1,000 free API credits every month at 30 req/min, enough for 1,000 one-credit screenshot calls. A single API key also unlocks Logo, Colors, Fonts, web scraping, sitemaps, NAICS/SIC, and the rest of the Context.dev stack.
