Website Screenshot API for Node.js

Try it

import { writeFile } from "node:fs/promises";

const qs = new URLSearchParams({
  url: "https://stripe.com",
  format: "png", full_page: "true", scale: "2",
});
const res = await fetch(
  `https://api.rasterly.dev/v1/screenshot?${qs}`,
  { headers: { "X-Api-Key": "sk_live_..." } },
);
if (!res.ok) throw new Error(`rasterly ${res.status}`);
await writeFile("shot.png", Buffer.from(await res.arrayBuffer()));

Swap format=pdf for a print-ready A4, or format=jpeg with quality to shrink the file. Grab a key instantly:

const { key } = await fetch("https://api.rasterly.dev/v1/keys", { method: "POST" }).then(r => r.json());

Common options

• url — the page to render (required).
• format — png (default), jpeg, or pdf.
• full_page — true captures the entire scroll height.
• width / height — viewport size.
• scale — device scale, up to 3× for retina.
• quality — 1–100 for JPEG.

Better on serverless

Bundling Chromium into a Vercel or Lambda function is the classic pain: a 300MB dependency, cold starts, and a chrome-aws-lambda layer to babysit. Calling rasterly keeps the function tiny because the browser runs on our side — one fetch, no binary in your bundle. It's the same engine behind PDF, read→Markdown, extract→JSON, crawl and monitoring, so one key covers the whole web layer at $0.90 per 1,000 with 100/mo free.
