Automation & No-Code
Automate website screenshots with Zapier, n8n, Make, and Retool — no coding required.
Overview
ScreenshotAPI works with any automation platform that can make HTTP requests. No SDKs or code needed — configure the API URL, pass your API key as a header, and start capturing screenshots in your workflows.
How It Works
Every automation platform integration follows the same pattern:
- Trigger — A form submission, schedule, webhook, or event starts the workflow.
- HTTP Request — The platform makes a
GETrequest to the ScreenshotAPI endpoint with your URL and parameters. - Process — Store the screenshot in cloud storage, send via email/Slack, or pass to the next step.
The request always looks like this:
GET https://screenshotapi.to/api/v1/screenshot?url=https://example.com&width=1440&height=900&type=png
Header: x-api-key: sk_live_your_key_hereZapier
Use the Webhooks by Zapier action (Custom Request) to call ScreenshotAPI. Set the method to GET, add your API key as an x-api-key header, and map query parameters from your trigger data. Chain with Google Drive, Slack, email, or any Zapier action to store or share results.

n8n
Use the HTTP Request node with GET method. n8n supports binary data handling, so you can pipe the screenshot response directly into file storage or messaging nodes. Self-hosted n8n gives you unlimited executions.

Make (Integromat)
Use the HTTP > Make a request module. Configure the URL, method, and headers. Make's binary handling lets you route screenshots to Google Drive, Dropbox, Airtable, or any connected app.

Retool
Use a REST API resource pointed at the ScreenshotAPI endpoint. Build internal tools with screenshot previews, bulk capture workflows, and admin dashboards. Retool Workflows support scheduled screenshot jobs.

Each screenshot uses 1 credit. A workflow that captures 5 pages daily uses ~150 credits/month. Check the pricing page for credit packs.
