Terms of Service

Effective Date: March 24, 2026

Last Updated: March 24, 2026

Welcome to ScreenshotAPI. These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("User," "you," or "your") and ScreenshotAPI ("we," "us," or "our"), operated by an individual developer, governing your access to and use of the ScreenshotAPI website located at https://screenshotapi.to and the ScreenshotAPI application programming interface (collectively, the "Service").

By creating an account, accessing, or using the Service, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms. If you are using the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that organization to these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not use the Service.

1. Definitions

  • "Service" means the ScreenshotAPI website, API, documentation, and all related services.
  • "API" means the ScreenshotAPI application programming interface that generates screenshots of web pages on demand.
  • "API Key" means the unique authentication credential issued to you for accessing the API.
  • "Credit" means the unit of usage consumed when making an API request that generates a screenshot. One screenshot equals one Credit.
  • "Credit Pack" means a pre-purchased bundle of Credits available at the prices listed on our pricing page.
  • "Auto Top-Up" means the optional feature that automatically purchases a designated Credit Pack when your Credit balance falls below a threshold you configure.
  • "Content" means any data, text, images, or other materials transmitted to or from the Service.
  • "User Content" means any URLs, parameters, or configuration you provide to the Service in connection with generating screenshots.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years of age (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, whichever is greater) to use the Service. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you meet this eligibility requirement. We do not knowingly provide the Service to anyone under 18 years of age.

3. Account Registration and Security

3.1 Account Creation

To use the Service, you must create an account by providing a valid email address and password, or by authenticating through a supported third-party OAuth provider. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration and to update such information as necessary.

3.2 Account Security

You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and API Keys. You must not share your account credentials or API Keys with any third party. You are responsible for all activities that occur under your account, whether or not authorized by you. You must notify us immediately at support@screenshotapi.to if you become aware of any unauthorized use of your account or API Keys.

3.3 API Key Management

API Keys are confidential credentials. You may create multiple API Keys and revoke them at any time through your account dashboard. We store only a hashed version of your API Keys. If you believe an API Key has been compromised, you should revoke it immediately and generate a new one.

4. The Service

4.1 Service Description

ScreenshotAPI is a screenshot-as-a-service API that generates web page screenshots on demand. You submit a URL and optional rendering parameters through the API, and the Service returns a screenshot image. Screenshots are generated in real time and returned directly to you; they are not stored on our servers after delivery.

4.2 Free Credits

Upon creating an account, you receive 5 free Credits. These Credits are subject to the same terms as purchased Credits and may not be transferred or exchanged for cash.

4.3 Service Modifications

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the Service (or any part thereof) at any time, with or without notice. We will make commercially reasonable efforts to notify you of material changes. We shall not be liable to you or any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuance of the Service.

5. Credit-Based Pricing and Payment

5.1 Credit Packs

The Service operates on a credit-based pricing model. You pre-purchase Credit Packs to use the API. Current Credit Pack options and pricing are listed on our pricing page. Credit Pack prices are denominated in U.S. dollars and are subject to change. We will notify you of any price changes before they take effect, and changes will not affect Credits already purchased.

5.2 Credit Usage

Each successful API request that generates a screenshot consumes one Credit from your balance. Credits are deducted at the time a screenshot is successfully generated. Failed requests do not consume Credits. Credits do not expire.

5.3 Auto Top-Up

If you enable the Auto Top-Up feature, you authorize us to automatically charge your stored payment method for the designated Credit Pack when your Credit balance falls below the threshold you configure. You may enable, disable, or modify your Auto Top-Up settings at any time through your account dashboard. You are responsible for ensuring your payment method remains valid. We are not liable for any service interruption caused by a failed Auto Top-Up charge.

5.4 Payment Processing

All payments are processed securely through Polar, our merchant of record. By making a purchase, you agree to Polar's Terms of Service. We do not directly store your credit card numbers or banking information. Payment information is collected and processed by Polar as a merchant of record.

5.5 Taxes

All prices are exclusive of applicable taxes, levies, or duties imposed by taxing authorities. You are responsible for paying all such taxes, levies, or duties associated with your purchases, excluding taxes based on our net income.

5.6 Refunds

Credit purchases are generally non-refundable. We may, at our sole discretion, provide refunds or credits on a case-by-case basis. If you believe you are entitled to a refund due to a technical issue with the Service, please contact us at support@screenshotapi.to within 30 days of the purchase.

6. Acceptable Use Policy

You agree not to use the Service to:

  • Violate any applicable local, state, national, or international law or regulation.
  • Capture screenshots of web pages containing illegal content, including but not limited to child sexual abuse material, content that violates intellectual property rights, or content that facilitates illegal activities.
  • Engage in any activity that could be used for phishing, fraud, impersonation, or social engineering attacks.
  • Generate screenshots for the purpose of harassment, defamation, stalking, or intimidation of any person.
  • Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service, other accounts, computer systems, or networks connected to the Service.
  • Interfere with or disrupt the Service or the servers or networks providing the Service, including through denial-of-service attacks or excessive API requests designed to degrade performance.
  • Reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to derive the source code of the Service.
  • Use the Service to monitor, scrape, or index web pages in violation of those pages' terms of service or robots.txt directives.
  • Resell, redistribute, or sublicense access to the Service or your API Key without our prior written consent.
  • Use automated means to create multiple accounts or to circumvent usage limits.

We reserve the right to investigate and take appropriate action against anyone who, in our sole discretion, violates this Acceptable Use Policy, including suspending or terminating the offending User's account without refund and reporting the activity to law enforcement authorities.

7. Intellectual Property

These Terms are effective as of the date you first access or use the Service and continue until terminated by either party.

13.3 Termination by Us

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. We may terminate your account immediately if you breach these Terms or engage in activity that we determine, in our sole discretion, is harmful to the Service, other users, or third parties.

13.4 Effect of Termination

The arbitrator's decision shall be final and binding.

14.4 Small Claims Exception

Notwithstanding the above, either party may bring an individual action in small claims court for disputes within the jurisdictional limits of that court.

15. Governing Law and Venue

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.
