Website Screenshot Pro

Capture clean, full-page screenshots or PDFs of any list of URLs, with the fiddly bits handled for you: cookie banners hidden, lazy-loaded images triggered, mobile devices emulated, dark mode supported, retina output, element-only capture.

You pay per captured image (and per PDF if you enable it). Failed pages are reported in the results but are never billed.

What you get

For every URL, one row in the dataset:

Field	Meaning
screenshotUrl	Direct link to the image (PNG or JPEG)
pdfUrl	Direct link to the PDF, when enabled
url, finalUrl	Requested URL and the URL after redirects
title, statusCode	Page title and HTTP status
width, height	Image dimensions in pixels
ok, error	Whether the capture succeeded, and why not if it did not

Images and PDFs are stored in the run's key-value store, so you can download them by link, embed them, or pull them via the API.

Why this one

• Cookie banners gone. Hides OneTrust, Cookiebot, Quantcast, Usercentrics, TrustArc, Didomi, Sourcepoint and generic consent pop-ups before capture. Add your own selectors for chat widgets or sticky bars.
• Full page that actually loads. Scrolls through the page first so lazy-loaded images render instead of showing grey boxes.
• Mobile and tablet emulation. iPhone 14 / 14 Pro Max, Pixel 7, Galaxy S9+, iPad Pro 11, iPad Mini, with correct viewport, user agent, touch and scale factor.
• Dark mode, retina, element capture, PDF. prefers-color-scheme: dark, 2x output, capture a single CSS selector, or save an A4/Letter PDF alongside.
• Fair billing. Only successful captures are billed. Set a maximum run cost and the actor stops cleanly at the limit.

Quick start

{
    "urls": [{ "url": "https://apify.com" }, { "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com" }],
    "fullPage": true,
    "format": "png",
    "hideCookieBanners": true
}

Mobile dark-mode JPEGs:

{
    "urls": [{ "url": "https://example.com" }],
    "device": "iPhone 14",
    "darkMode": true,
    "format": "jpeg",
    "quality": 85
}

Capture just the pricing table and also save a PDF:

{
    "urls": [{ "url": "https://example.com/pricing" }],
    "selector": "#pricing",
    "pdf": true,
    "pdfFormat": "A4"
}

Input options

Option	Default	Notes
urls	required	List of { "url": "..." } objects
fullPage	true	Whole page vs viewport only
format / quality	png / 80	png or jpeg; quality applies to JPEG
viewportWidth / viewportHeight	1280 / 800	Ignored when a device is selected
deviceScaleFactor	1	2 for retina
device	none	Phone/tablet emulation
darkMode	false	Emulates dark colour scheme
hideCookieBanners	true	Hides common consent pop-ups
hideSelectors	[]	Extra CSS selectors to hide
selector	-	Capture only this element
waitUntil	load	load, domcontentloaded, networkidle
waitForSelector	-	Wait for this selector before capture
delayMs	1000	Extra wait for animations and late JS
scrollToBottom	true	Trigger lazy loading before full-page capture
pdf / pdfFormat	false / A4	Also save a PDF
timeoutSecs	60	Per-page timeout
maxConcurrency	5	Parallel pages

Using the API

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/<username>~website-screenshot-pro/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=<YOUR_TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"urls":[{"url":"https://apify.com"}],"format":"jpeg","quality":80}'

The response is the dataset: one object per URL with a screenshotUrl you can fetch directly. Works the same from Python, Node, Make, Zapier, n8n or any MCP-capable AI agent.

Tips

• Pages behind logins or bot protection (Cloudflare challenges, DataDome, PerimeterX, CAPTCHAs) are detected, returned as ok: false with the reason, and never billed. The actor does not attempt to bypass them.
• For very long pages, full-page captures are capped by the browser at roughly 16,384 px of height; use selector or viewport capture for extreme cases.
• networkidle gives the most complete render but can wait a long time on sites with constant background traffic; load plus delayMs is usually the best trade-off.

Pricing

Pay per event: one event per successful screenshot, one per PDF. No charge for failures. Set a maximum charge per run in the Console or via maxTotalChargeUsd on the API to cap spend.
