Microlink Screenshot API Proxy
A lightning-fast, always-on Apify Standby Actor that acts as a proxy extension to convert any URL into a high-quality screenshot.
Powered by the Microlink API, https://microlink.io/screenshot, this Actor streams image data directly to your application without storing heavy files in memory, ensuring maximum performance and low latency.
Key Features
- Direct Image Streaming: Returns raw image buffers (PNG/JPEG) instantly rather than JSON metadata.
- Full Parameter Support: Automatically passes through all native Microlink screenshot parameters (e.g., viewport adjustments, device emulation, specific element targeting).
- Smart Tier Routing: Seamlessly supports both free and pro Microlink tiers. Attach your Microlink API key to headers to automatically route to
pro.microlink.io. - Always-On Standby: Designed specifically for Apify's Standby mode to handle high-concurrency requests with zero cold-start times.
How to Use
Once running in Standby mode, append your target URL and any Microlink query parameters directly to your Actor's endpoint.
Basic Full Page Screenshot
Capture a complete top-to-bottom image of a website:

50 reqs per day for free. Add and api key for the unlimited screenshots mode: https://microlink.io/pricing
Using a Pro API Key
To use your paid Microlink plan, pass your key in the headers of your request. The Actor will automatically route the request to the Pro endpoint.
