shotanvil-examples
Usage examples and a live-synced OpenAPI spec copy for the shotanvil
screenshot API — 1 screenshot = 1 request, a free tier that's actually free, from $9/mo.
Base URL: https://api.shotanvil.com
Access paths
GET /take and POST /render-html accept three access paths, checked in this order:
- x402 — send an
X-Paymentheader (pay-per-call, no signup, testnet-settled). - API key — send
X-Api-Key: <key>or?access_key=<key>. - Keyless — no credential, IP-rate-limited, only when the operator has keyless access enabled.
An invalid API key always fails with 401 and never falls through to keyless, even when keyless
is enabled — a typo'd paying key never silently downgrades to a lower tier.
Get an API key at shotanvil.com.
Quickstart
Take a screenshot:
curl "https://api.shotanvil.com/take?url=https://example.com" \
-H "X-Api-Key: $SHOTANVIL_API_KEY" \
-o screenshot.png
Get text + metadata as JSON instead of raw bytes:
curl "https://api.shotanvil.com/take?url=https://example.com&response_format=json" \
-H "X-Api-Key: $SHOTANVIL_API_KEY"
Render inline HTML:
curl -X POST https://api.shotanvil.com/render-html \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "X-Api-Key: $SHOTANVIL_API_KEY" \
-d '{"html": "<html><body><h1>Hello</h1></body></html>"}' \
-o out.png

examples/node/screenshot.mjs.
Common GET /take parameters
| Param | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
url | string, required | Target page URL, http/https only. |
format | string | png (default), jpeg, webp, or pdf. |
full_page | bool | Capture the full scrollable page height, not just the viewport. |
viewport_width / viewport_height | int | 320–3840 / 240–2160. |
cache_ttl | int | Seconds to cache this exact render, 0–86400. |
fresh | bool | Bypass the cache read for this request. |
block_ads | bool | Block ad-network requests via an EasyList-derived blocklist. |
block_cookie_banners | bool | Inject a CSS kill-list that hides common cookie-consent banners. |
dark_mode | bool | Emulate prefers-color-scheme: dark before navigation. |
response_format | string | binary (default) returns raw bytes; json wraps image (base64) + extracted text/metadata. |
Full parameter reference, request/response schemas, and every field's worked example live in
openapi.json — open it in any OpenAPI viewer (e.g.
editor.swagger.io) for the browsable version.
Rate limits
Each API key has a per-second rate limit and a daily call cap. GET /usage reports the current
key's usage for the day. Exceeding either returns 429 with a retry_after_s field.
Keeping openapi.json in sync
openapi.json in this repo is a point-in-time copy, fetched from the live
GET https://api.shotanvil.com/openapi.json endpoint — it is not hand-written and will drift as
the API evolves.
Before relying on it for anything beyond casual browsing, or before any future update to this repo, re-fetch and diff:
curl -sS https://api.shotanvil.com/openapi.json -o /tmp/openapi.latest.json
diff openapi.json /tmp/openapi.latest.json
If they differ, review the diff, replace openapi.json with the fresh copy, and commit — do not
hand-edit openapi.json directly.
