For a simple batch, send one POST request to Browserless’s /screenshot endpoint per URL, save each binary response under a distinct filename, and limit how many requests run at once. Use Browserless’s remote Playwright connection instead when a page needs scripted interaction or state changes before capture. The examples below use placeholders for your Browserless token and endpoint; confirm the current endpoint URL and account concurrency in Browserless’s documentation.

Choose REST or remote Playwright

Pick the REST screenshot endpoint when each job is simply “navigate to this URL and return an image.” It returns image bytes directly, so you do not need to manage a browser connection in your client. Choose a remote Playwright session when you need to interact with the page, control navigation, or inspect and change page state before taking the screenshot. These are workflow differences, not a guarantee that one method is faster.

Need Better fit Why
Capture each URL with screenshot options REST /screenshot Send one request per URL and save the image response.
Click, inspect, or otherwise control a page before capture Remote Playwright Use browser code to navigate and interact before calling the screenshot method.
Process many independent URLs Either, with bounded concurrency Both consume service capacity; cap simultaneous work to respect your plan and avoid overloading destination sites.

Prepare a URL list and credentials

Keep the URLs in a file or data source and store your Browserless token in an environment variable or secret manager. Do not commit the token to source control. The endpoint examples use placeholders because the exact endpoint and token format depend on your Browserless account and selected connection method.

For REST captures, the workflow is one POST request to /screenshot for each URL. Send JSON containing the target URL and screenshot options, then write the returned image bytes to a distinct output file. Browserless documents PNG, JPEG, and WebP output; use PNG if you want to follow its quickstart example.

Bulk capture with Browserless REST

This Python example uses requests and a small worker pool. Set BROWSERLESS_SCREENSHOT_ENDPOINT to the full REST screenshot endpoint for your account, including its token query parameter if required by the current Browserless API. The request body and response handling follow the documented REST pattern; confirm any account-specific request options in the Browserless screenshot API documentation.

Browserless screenshot API documentation

import concurrent.futures
import os
from pathlib import Path

import requests

endpoint = os.environ["BROWSERLESS_SCREENSHOT_ENDPOINT"]
urls = [
    "https://example.com",
    "https://www.example.org",
]
out_dir = Path("screenshots")
out_dir.mkdir(exist_ok=True)

# Start conservatively. Check your account's concurrency limit and the
# destination sites' acceptable request rate before increasing this value.
max_workers = 3

def capture(item):
    index, url = item
    output = out_dir / f"shot-{index:04d}.png"
    try:
        response = requests.post(
            endpoint,
            json={"url": url, "options": {"type": "png"}},
            timeout=90,
        )
        response.raise_for_status()
        output.write_bytes(response.content)
        return {"url": url, "status": "saved", "file": str(output)}
    except requests.RequestException as exc:
        return {"url": url, "status": "error", "error": str(exc)}

with concurrent.futures.ThreadPoolExecutor(max_workers=max_workers) as pool:
    for result in pool.map(capture, enumerate(urls, start=1)):
        print(result)

Check the API’s current option names before adapting the example: Browserless supports output format and other capture controls, but request schemas can evolve. Do not treat a successful HTTP response alone as proof that the correct page rendered; inspect representative output and record failures per URL.

Keep filenames unique

The example numbers outputs so two URLs cannot silently overwrite a file with the same basename. If you derive filenames from URL paths instead, sanitize them and still handle duplicate paths, query strings, and empty paths.

Use bounded concurrency

A worker pool limits simultaneous requests. Browserless plan capacity governs concurrent sessions, while destination sites can impose their own rate limits or block automation. Start with a conservative cap, check current account capacity, and increase only when the workload and target sites permit it. Avoid launching an unbounded task for every URL in a large list.

Bulk capture with a remote Playwright connection

Use Playwright when each page needs browser-level handling before the image is taken. Browserless documents a chromium/playwright WebSocket endpoint and a chromium.connect example. The connection guide notes that the default endpoint speaks CDP; use the Playwright endpoint and compatible connection method rather than assuming every endpoint accepts Playwright’s protocol.

The following illustrates the batch shape. Set the endpoint to the Playwright WebSocket endpoint and credentials for your account, and verify the current Browserless connection URL and authentication format in its connection documentation. Install Playwright for Node.js in your project before running it.

import { chromium } from "playwright";
import { mkdir, writeFile } from "node:fs/promises";

const endpoint = process.env.BROWSERLESS_PLAYWRIGHT_ENDPOINT;
if (!endpoint) throw new Error("Set BROWSERLESS_PLAYWRIGHT_ENDPOINT");

const urls = ["https://example.com", "https://www.example.org"];
const outputDir = "screenshots";
await mkdir(outputDir, { recursive: true });

const browser = await chromium.connect(endpoint);
try {
  for (const [index, url] of urls.entries()) {
    const page = await browser.newPage();
    try {
      await page.goto(url, { waitUntil: "domcontentloaded", timeout: 60000 });
      // Replace with a selector or other ready condition that matches the site.
      await page.locator("body").waitFor({ state: "visible", timeout: 15000 });
      const image = await page.screenshot({ fullPage: true, type: "png" });
      await writeFile(`${outputDir}/shot-${String(index + 1).padStart(4, "0")}.png`, image);
    } finally {
      await page.close();
    }
  }
} finally {
  await browser.close();
}

This serial example prioritizes isolation and simplicity. For higher throughput, add a bounded worker pool, but account for each parallel Playwright worker opening its own session and consuming plan concurrency. Close pages and the remote browser connection when finished so sessions are released.

Choose the right page readiness condition

A fixed delay is easy but can waste time on fast pages and still miss slow content. Prefer a selector or other known ready condition for the content you need. Browserless supports waiting configuration; the exact option depends on whether you use REST or Playwright.

Special offer. See more information about Outbyte and uninstall instructions. Please review EULA and Privacy policy.

Full-page capture extends beyond the visible viewport. Lazy-loaded sections may not be present until the page is scrolled; Browserless recommends using scrollPage: true with full-page mode when a complete long-page capture is needed. Verify that behavior for the endpoint and options you use.

Options that affect the result

Choose settings based on the image you need rather than enabling every capture feature by default.

  • Viewport or full page: viewport captures are limited to the visible region; full-page captures include content beyond it.
  • Format: Browserless documents PNG, JPEG, and WebP. PNG is the documented quickstart example; choose an alternative when it suits your storage or delivery workflow.
  • Quality: quality applies where the selected format supports it.
  • Viewport, device scale, or clip: control the captured dimensions or region.
  • Selector capture: capture a specific element when you do not need the entire page.
  • Wait configuration: wait for a selector, event, or other appropriate readiness condition when content is dynamic.

Refer to the REST screenshot documentation for the current option names and API schema. For Playwright, use the corresponding Playwright page and screenshot APIs.

Reliability, performance, and cost considerations

Do not equate a response with a valid capture

A request can complete while returning a blank page, CAPTCHA, access-denied screen, or image missing the element you wanted. Browserless identifies these as possible signs that a target is blocking automation. Treat them as capture failures to review, not proof of a successful screenshot or a problem that can always be bypassed.

Make batches observable and recoverable

  • Record each input URL, output filename, HTTP status, and error.
  • Keep failed URLs separate from successful outputs so you can retry selectively.
  • Inspect a sample of images, especially after changing waits, full-page settings, or target sites.
  • Use timeouts and bounded concurrency so stalled pages do not indefinitely occupy all workers.
  • Do not retry every error blindly: a CAPTCHA or access-denied page may persist, and repeated requests may increase load on the destination.

Capacity is account-specific

REST requests and remote browser sessions use service capacity. Browserless says parallel Playwright test workers each open a session and count against the plan’s concurrency limit. The current available capacity is plan-specific, so check your account documentation or dashboard rather than hard-coding a general limit. The reviewed documentation does not establish a universal batch throughput or success rate.

Troubleshoot common batch problems

Symptom Likely cause What to do
Authentication or endpoint error Wrong endpoint, token, or connection type. Check the current Browserless endpoint and token format. For Playwright, use the Playwright-compatible endpoint rather than assuming the default CDP endpoint accepts it.
Blank or white image The page did not render as expected, or automation was blocked. Inspect the response image and page readiness; look for CAPTCHA or access-denied content and treat it as a failed capture.
Missing page section Content had not loaded, or was lazy-loaded below the viewport. Wait for a relevant selector or event. For long pages, use full-page capture and the documented scroll behavior where appropriate.
Too many failed or slow requests Concurrency may exceed account capacity or target-site tolerance; some pages may also be slow or unresponsive. Reduce the worker count, set timeouts, and report errors per URL rather than allowing unbounded requests.
Output files overwrite one another Names are based on a non-unique URL component. Use a stable unique index or identifier for each URL and sanitize any URL-derived filename.
Playwright connection fails The endpoint speaks a different protocol or the connection URL is malformed. Use Browserless’s Playwright endpoint with its documented chromium.connect method and verify account-specific connection details.

Or skip the browser setup

If your batch is simply URL-to-image, ScreenshotNeo offers a screenshot API and MCP server. One GET request returns an image or PDF; the parameter names used by other screenshot APIs also work. See the ScreenshotNeo API documentation for available options.

curl -G "https://api.screenshotneo.com/v1/shot" -d access_key=YOUR_API_KEY --data-urlencode url=https://stripe.com -o shot.webp

ScreenshotNeo accepts cookie and consent banners before capture and removes more than 60 known consent platforms, newsletter popups, and chat widgets; each of those steps can be turned off. Bot checks, blank pages, timeouts, failed loads, and cache hits are not billed. Its MCP server lets AI agents using Claude, Cursor, or another MCP client call take_screenshot, get_page_info, and capture_pdf.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I send a list of URLs in one Browserless screenshot request?

The documented straightforward batch pattern is one request to the screenshot endpoint for each URL.

Does Browserless guarantee that a site will allow a screenshot?

No. A CAPTCHA, blank output, or access-denied page can indicate that the destination is blocking automation.
