# Screenshot without header, footer or chat widget

**Use case:** 

Hide the parts of a page you do not want in the image, such as a sticky header, a footer, a chat widget or a pop-up. List their CSS selectors, one per line; this example hides the Wikipedia header and footer and captures the full article. Cookie banners and common ad slots are hidden by default.

## Input

```json
{
  "urls": [
    "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montreal"
  ],
  "fullPage": true,
  "devicePreset": "desktop",
  "format": "png",
  "quality": 80,
  "darkMode": false,
  "blockCookieBanners": true,
  "blockAds": true,
  "waitUntil": "load",
  "delayMs": 500,
  "hideSelectors": [
    ".vector-header-container",
    ".mw-footer-container"
  ],
  "timeoutSecs": 30,
  "maxRetries": 1,
  "maxFullPageHeight": 15000,
  "skipHttpErrors": false,
  "locale": "en-US",
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": false
  }
}
```

## Output

```json

  "screenshotUrl": {
    "label": "Screenshot",
    "format": "string"
  },
  "url": {
    "label": "URL",

## About this Actor

This example demonstrates how to use [Website Screenshot API - Fast & Bulk (PNG, JPEG, WebP, PDF)](https://apify.com/northledgertools/website-screenshot.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/northledgertools/website-screenshot.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`).
