Using the SERP API Page Screenshot endpoint, you can capture a screenshot of any SERP page.
1 Call the endpoint.
POST https://api.dataforseo.com/v3/serp/screenshot
2 Specify the ID of the task for which you would like to receive a screenshot in the task_id field.
That should be enough to send a basic POST request. Structure it as in the following example:
[
{
"task_id": "07181408-2806-0139-0000-6c377ba904f5"
}
]
You can also use additional POST parameters to receive more specific results:
browser_preset— browser preset associated with a certain device type. Can take the following values:desktop,mobile,tablet. By default, the API uses the device type specified in the initial POST request.browser_screen_width,browser_screen_height— in these fields, you can indicate a specific browser screen width and height.browser_screen_scale_factor— browser scale factor. Can take the range from 0.5 to 3.
In the API response, you will receive the URL to a high-quality page screenshot on the DataForSEO storage.
