Short Description

Screenshot API: one GET request renders a URL, HTML, or Markdown to PNG, JPEG, WebP, PDF, or scrolling video (MP4/WebM/GIF), with full-page and element capture, device presets, dark mode, and ad/cookie-banner blocking. Free plan: 100 screenshots/month that resets monthly, no credit card.

Free Tier Rate Limit

100 screenshots/month (resets monthly), 10 requests/minute; failed renders and cache hits not counted

Verification

  • This API has a permanent free tier or no-key access (not a 14-day trial).
  • The endpoint is currently live and functional.

Endpoint: GET https://curlshot.com/api/v1/screenshot?url=... (HTTPS; key via access_key query param, X-Access-Key header, or Authorization: Bearer).
Homepage: https://curlshot.com
OpenAPI: https://curlshot.com/openapi.json
Pricing / limits: https://curlshot.com/pricing

The free plan is permanent, not a trial, and requires no credit card. When the monthly quota is used up the API returns 402 and nothing is charged. Paid plans start at $19/month. CurlShot is a closed-source commercial hosted API with a free plan, not an open-source project.

Disclosure: I build CurlShot.
