You pay per result: $0.001 per result on the Free plan (about $1.00 per 1,000). Paid Apify plans get lower tiered prices.

### What can I change in the input?

Edit urls, device, format (png or jpeg), fullPage, darkMode, hideCookieBanners and delayMs.

Yes. Add this task to an Apify Schedule and use onlyNew: later runs return only what was not reported before. The first run returns everything. Keep the same Monitor ID for each watch list.

## About this Actor

This example demonstrates how to use [Website Screenshot API - $1/1k, Webpage to Image, URL to PNG](https://apify.com/martin10291/website-screenshot-api.md) with a specific input configuration.

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/martin10291/website-screenshot-api.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
