The Actor is free to use, and you only pay for the Apify platform usage, which gets cheaper the higher subscription plan you have.

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Website Screenshot Export Website Screenshot Export captures a batch of public URLs as PNG files and returns a clean dataset plus a PowerPoint-ready manifest for decks, audits and recurring reports. ### Features - Batch screenshot export for 3–10 public URLs per run. - PNG screenshots saved to the default key-value store. - Dataset rows include URL, final URL, HTTP status, page title, viewport and screenshot key. - Manifest JSON lists every slide in order, ready for PowerPoint, Google Slides or report assembly. - Clear error rows for blocked, login/paywall-looking or failed URLs. - Bounded inputs: maximum 10 URLs, viewport capped at 1920×2160, wait capped at 5 seconds. ### Use cases - Weekly competitor website screenshots for marketing reports. - QA evidence packs before and after a website release. - Agency decks where every slide needs a fresh page capture. - IT or compliance reports that need visual proof of public page state. ### Input ```json { "startUrls": ["https://example.com", "https://apify.com"], "viewportWidth": 1440, "viewportHeight": 900, "fullPage": true, "waitMs": 1000, "respectRobotsTxt": true } ```` ### Output Each successful dataset item includes: ```json { "url": "https://example.com", "finalUrl": "https://example.com/", "status": 200, "title": "Example Domain", "viewport": { "width": 1440, "height": 900 }, "fullPage": true, "screenshotKey": "screenshots/001-example-com.png", "screenshotContentType": "image/png", "slide": { "number": 1, "caption": "Example Domain", "imageKey": "screenshots/001-example-com.png" } } ``` The key-value store also contains `MANIFEST`, a JSON object with `slides`, `errors`, `hardLimits` and screenshot metadata. ### Pricing Pay per event: one billable event per successful screenshot result. Error rows are not intended as billable value. ### FAQ #### Does it log into websites? No. It only captures public URLs without login, paywall or private access. #### Can it capture more than 10 URLs? Not in this Actor. The v1 scope is intentionally bounded to keep runs predictable for buyers and for Apify compute. #### Does it create a PPTX file? No. It creates PNG screenshots and a PowerPoint-ready manifest, so another workflow can assemble the deck without guessing slide order or captions. # Actor input Schema ## `startUrls` (type: `array`): Public http/https URLs to screenshot. Hard maximum: 10 URLs per run. No login, paywall, or private URLs. ## `viewportWidth` (type: `integer`): Browser viewport width in pixels. Bounded between 320 and 1920. ## `viewportHeight` (type: `integer`): Browser viewport height in pixels. Bounded between 480 and 2160. ## `fullPage` (type: `boolean`): When enabled, captures the whole scrollable page. Disable for slide-shaped viewport-only screenshots. ## `waitMs` (type: `integer`): Optional wait after page load for lazy content, capped at 5000 ms. ## `respectRobotsTxt` (type: `boolean`): Skip URLs disallowed by robots.txt. Recommended and enabled by default. ## Actor input object example ```json { "startUrls": [ "https://example.com", "https://apify.com" ], "viewportWidth": 1440, "viewportHeight": 900, "fullPage": true, "waitMs": 1000, "respectRobotsTxt": true } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "startUrls": [ "https://example.com", "https://apify.com" ] }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("davidbenittah/website-screenshot-export").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
