## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt).


# README

## SnapAPI Screenshot Tool — Capture Any URL as PNG or PDF

Capture high-quality screenshots and generate PDFs of any webpage in seconds. No browser setup required. Powered by [SnapAPI](https://opspawn.com/snapapi).

### What This Actor Does

Given a URL, this actor:
1. Launches a headless browser and renders the full page (including JavaScript)
2. Returns a high-quality PNG screenshot or PDF
3. Saves the output to the actor's key-value store with a direct download URL

### Features

- **Full JavaScript rendering** — Works on React, Vue, Angular, SPAs, and any JS-heavy site
- **PNG and PDF output** — Get a visual screenshot or a printable PDF
- **Custom viewport** — Set width/height to simulate any device or resolution
- **Full-page screenshots** — Capture the entire scrollable page, not just the viewport
- **Fast response** — Typically under 5 seconds per capture
- **Free tier** — 100 screenshots/month included

### Input

```json
{
  "url": "https://example.com",
  "format": "png",
  "width": 1280,
  "height": 800,
  "fullPage": false
}
````

| Field | Type | Default | Required | Description |
|-------|------|---------|----------|-------------|
| `url` | string | — | ✅ | The webpage URL to capture |
| `format` | string | `"png"` | | Output format: `"png"` or `"pdf"` |
| `width` | integer | `1280` | | Browser viewport width in pixels |
| `height` | integer | `800` | | Browser viewport height in pixels |
| `fullPage` | boolean | `false` | | Capture full scrollable page height |

### Output

Screenshot saved to actor's key-value store as `screenshot.png` or `screenshot.pdf`.

Dataset record:

```json
{
  "url": "https://example.com",
  "screenshotUrl": "https://api.apify.com/v2/key-value-stores/.../records/screenshot.png",
  "format": "png",
  "capturedAt": "2026-03-06T12:00:00.000Z"
}
```

### Use Cases

- **OG Image Generation** — Auto-capture pages for social media preview images
- **Visual Regression Testing** — Screenshot pages before/after deployments
- **Website Monitoring & Archiving** — Periodic snapshots for change detection or compliance
- **PDF Export & Reporting** — Convert web dashboards and docs to printable PDFs
- **Lead Generation Research** — Capture competitor and pricing pages at scale
- **Content Pipeline** — Screenshot pages as part of AI/ML data preprocessing workflows
- **E-commerce Monitoring** — Track product pages, pricing, and visual changes

### Pricing

**Free tier**: 100 screenshots/month included — [Get free key](https://api.opspawn.com/register).
