The URL Screenshot API is a service that allows developers to generate screenshots of websites programmatically using a simple API. It enables capturing visual representations of webpages by providing the URL and specifying various parameters.

To capture a screenshot, you can make a request to the API endpoint, providing the URL of the website you want to capture. You can also customize the parameters such as width, height, and whether to capture the full page or a specific section.

Absolutely! The API supports capturing screenshots of responsive websites across different devices and resolutions. You can specify the dimensions to simulate the appearance on various screens and ensure responsiveness.

The ability to capture screenshots of password-protected or private websites depends on the authentication mechanisms and permissions set up by the website owner. The API may require additional credentials or configurations in such cases.

The screenshots generated by the API aim to accurately represent the visual appearance of the website at the time of capture. However, slight variations in rendering may occur due to factors like dynamic content or browser-specific rendering discrepancies.
