Can I get a screenshot of a page?
Yes, you can.
Using the new Page Screenshot endpoint of On-Page API, you can make a high-quality screenshot of any page.
1 Call the endpoint.
https://api.dataforseo.com/v3/on_page/page_screenshot
2 Specify the URL of a page you wish to make a screenshot of in the url field. Note: you should indicate an absolute URL with http://, https://, or www..
Example:
"url": "https://docs.dataforseo.com/v3/on_page/page_screenshot/"
3 Specify the language header for accessing the website in the accept_language field. Note: if you do not specify this parameter, some websites may deny access. In this case, you will obtain "error_message":"Screenshot is empty" in the response array
Example: "accept_language": "en-US"
Your POST request should be structured as in the following example:
[
{
"url": "https://docs.dataforseo.com/v3/on_page/page_screenshot/"
}
]
In the API response, you will receive the URL of the page screenshot on the DataForSEO storage.
