# Screenshot Pro - Website Screenshot API (`psymall/screenshot-pro`) Actor

Capture clean full-page or device-sized screenshots of any website at scale. Auto-closes cookie banners and pop-ups (the #1 complaint about other tools), supports device presets, and returns a public signed image URL. Built for AI agents and automation.

## What's an Apify Actor?

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

## Screenshot Pro — Website Screenshot API

Capture clean screenshots of any web page, in bulk. Full-page or viewport, multiple device sizes, and **automatic cookie-banner dismissal** so your images aren't ruined by consent popups.

### Features

- **Bulk capture** — pass many URLs, get one image per URL.
- **Full-page or viewport** — capture the whole scrollable page or just what's above the fold.
- **Device presets** — Desktop, Desktop HD, Tablet, Mobile.
- **Auto-dismiss popups** — closes common cookie banners and consent dialogs (OneTrust, Cookiebot, Quantcast and generic accept buttons) before capturing.
- **PNG or JPEG** — choose format and JPEG quality.
- **Reliable** — smart wait strategy with a `networkidle → load` fallback, and the run fails loudly if nothing could be captured (you never pay for an empty run).

### Input

```json
{
  "urls": [
    { "url": "https://apify.com" },
    { "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com" }
  ],
  "fullPage": true,
  "device": "desktop",
  "format": "png",
  "dismissDialogs": true,
  "waitUntil": "networkidle",
  "extraWaitMs": 800
}
````

| Option | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
| `urls` | Page URLs to capture | required |
| `fullPage` | Whole page (true) or viewport only (false) | true |
| `device` | `desktop`, `desktop-hd`, `tablet`, `mobile` | desktop |
| `format` | `png` or `jpeg` | png |
| `jpegQuality` | 1–100 (JPEG only) | 80 |
| `dismissDialogs` | Auto-close cookie banners / popups | true |
| `waitUntil` | `load`, `domcontentloaded`, `networkidle` | networkidle |
| `extraWaitMs` | Extra wait for late animations/lazy images | 800 |

### Output

- Each screenshot is saved to the run's key-value store, and a dataset record is produced with the direct `imageUrl`, the URL, device, format and timestamp.
- Pull results via the Apify API or download images directly.

### Common uses

- Visual monitoring and change tracking
- Thumbnails and link previews for apps and dashboards
- Automated design/QA snapshots across device sizes
- Feeding page images to AI agents and pipelines

### Notes

Captures publicly accessible pages only. Use responsibly and in line with the target sites' terms.

# Actor input Schema

## `urls` (type: `array`):

One or more page URLs to screenshot.

## `maxUrls` (type: `integer`):

Safety cap on how many URLs a single run will process, to bound cost.

## `fullPage` (type: `boolean`):

Capture the entire scrollable page (true) or just the visible viewport (false).

## `device` (type: `string`):

Viewport preset to render with.

## `format` (type: `string`):

Output image format: PNG (lossless) or JPEG (smaller files).

## `jpegQuality` (type: `integer`):

1-100, only used when format is JPEG.

## `dismissDialogs` (type: `boolean`):

Try to close common cookie banners and consent popups before capturing.

## `waitUntil` (type: `string`):

When to consider the page ready before capturing.

## `extraWaitMs` (type: `integer`):

Additional wait after load, for late animations/lazy images.

# 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 '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "urls": [
        {
            "url": "https://apify.com"
        }
    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("psymall/screenshot-pro").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);
});

run_input = { "urls": [{ "url": "https://apify.com" }] }

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("psymall/screenshot-pro").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print("💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/" + run["defaultDatasetId"])
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
