Screenshot: Website Image and Video Capture

Introduction

This actor allows users to capture screenshots of any website. With a user-friendly interface and a diverse set of output formats, capturing a website's current state has never been more streamlined.

Use Cases

• Website Snapshot: Instantly capture the look and feel of any website for archival or reporting purposes.
• Design Verification: Validate a website's design across different devices to ensure optimal user experiences.
• Content Creation: Use screenshots in content pieces, presentations, and more.

Input

1. URL: The specific website URL you wish to capture.
2. Device: Opt for your preferred device resolution from a comprehensive list, ensuring compatibility and design responsiveness.
3. Output: Decide on the desired output format: whether an Image (jpeg), a Video (mp4), or a Video (gif).
4. Full Page: Capture the entire page, or just the visible area. This is a boolean value, with true capturing the full page and false capturing the visible area (viewport). Note that the full page option is only available for jpeg output format.

Output

Based on the provided schema, the actor provides an "overview" of the captured data, structured as:

• URL: Direct link to the captured website.
• Output: The chosen output format, which could be jpeg, mp4, or gif.
• Screenshot: A direct link to the captured screenshot.

A sample output would look like this:

{
    "url": "https://samplewebsite.com",
    "output": "jpeg",
    "screenshot": "https://path.to/screenshot.jpeg"
}
