To capture an entire page with ScreenshotOne, send a request to its /take endpoint with the target url, your access_key, and full_page=true. If the result misses content that appears as you scroll, tune the full-page scrolling settings or try the by_sections algorithm. For unusually long pages, cap the capture height or return slices.

Make a basic full-page request

Here is the simplest request, shown as a URL for clarity:

https://api.screenshotone.com/take?url=https://example.com&full_page=true&access_key=YOUR_ACCESS_KEY

In a real request, use your own access key and keep it private. ScreenshotOne recommends HTTPS. With a GET request, options are query parameters; POST requests can instead send options in a JSON body. See ScreenshotOne’s Getting Started documentation for request setup.

For example, with cURL:

curl -G "https://api.screenshotone.com/take" 
  --data-urlencode "url=https://example.com" 
  --data-urlencode "full_page=true" 
  --data-urlencode "access_key=YOUR_ACCESS_KEY" 
  -o page.png

The essential setting is full_page=true. The response format and other capture settings depend on the options you provide; consult the ScreenshotOne options reference for the current option names and defaults.

Choose the capture algorithm and viewport

Default full-page capture

By default, ScreenshotOne’s full-page algorithm expands the rendered viewport to the page height. This is straightforward, but some pages do not render correctly when treated as one very tall viewport. The full-page guide cautions that reliable rendering is challenging and may not work for every page, even after tuning. Read the full-page guide for the documented behavior.

Capture by scrolling through sections

If the default produces missing or misaligned content, try full_page_algorithm=by_sections. This captures as the page scrolls and combines sections, which can help on more complex layouts. Its viewport height determines the section size. Smaller sections may trigger more lazy-loading events, but can take longer to capture; scroll timing and the page’s behavior still affect the result.

Set the viewport for the layout you want

Viewport width determines the responsive layout and the resulting screenshot width. ScreenshotOne’s guide lists 1280 pixels as the default width. The documented default viewport height is 1024 pixels; for the section-based algorithm, that height controls section size. Choose a width that reflects the device layout you need to capture, rather than assuming a full-page screenshot will use the site’s widest layout.

Load content that appears during scrolling

Full-page capture automatically enables scrolling by default to help trigger lazy-loaded images and sections. If content is still absent, adjust the scroll step and pause between scrolls. Smaller steps give the page more opportunities to load content; longer pauses give scripts and network requests more time, at the cost of a slower capture.

ScreenshotOne’s guide gives full_page_scroll_by=500 and full_page_scroll_delay=1500 as example tuning values—not universal best settings. It also suggests adding 5 to 10 seconds of page delay when a site needs more time to render. Try changing one setting at a time and inspect the result, because the right timing depends on the target page.

Handle very long pages and infinite scroll

Set a maximum height

An infinite-scroll page may keep adding content as the capture scrolls. Set full_page_max_height to limit how tall the screenshot can become. This also gives a predictable bound for an unusually long document. Pick a limit that includes the content you need without allowing an unbounded capture; the options reference documents the parameter.

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

Return a tall page as slices

If one extremely tall image is inconvenient for a downstream image or AI workflow, request full_page_slices=true together with full_page=true. A JSON response includes a slice array. The documented default slice height is 4000 pixels, and the allowed range is 1 to 16000 pixels. Overlap is optional, but the slice height minus overlap must leave an effective step of at least 100 pixels. Slices cannot be combined with store=true. See ScreenshotOne’s slicing guide for details.

Use slices when your next processing step benefits from smaller images; use a height cap when the concern is runaway page length. These solve different problems and should not be treated as interchangeable.

Reduce motion and account for sticky or changing elements

For pages whose animations make captures vary, reduce_motion=true actively reduces supported animation and pauses supported looping media. This is best-effort: custom JavaScript, canvas content, and animated images may still differ. By contrast, reduced_motion=true sets a browser preference and relies on the page to honor it. The two options are not equivalent; check the options reference before choosing one.

Scrolling can also expose layout behavior that a single expanded viewport does not: sticky headers may appear repeatedly, galleries may change, and other content may depend on scroll position. ScreenshotOne’s e-commerce guide calls out scroll-dependent content, repeated sticky elements, animation, and changing product galleries as considerations. If the page changes while scrolling, compare the default algorithm with by_sections and review whether the captured result represents the page state you want. See the e-commerce screenshot guide.

Troubleshoot an incomplete or unexpected screenshot

  • Lazy-loaded images or sections are missing: reduce full_page_scroll_by, increase full_page_scroll_delay, or add page delay. Recheck the result after each change; timing depends on the site.
  • The layout is broken or content is missing in the default capture: try full_page_algorithm=by_sections. It can help with complex pages, though it may take longer and still depends on scroll timing.
  • Animations or looping media differ between captures: try reduce_motion=true for supported motion. It cannot guarantee consistency for custom JavaScript, canvas, or animated images.
  • The page is too tall or never stops growing: set full_page_max_height to bound the result.
  • Sticky headers repeat, a gallery changes, or scroll-dependent content looks wrong: compare the default and section-based algorithms and inspect the result against the intended page state. Scrolling can itself change what the page displays.
  • Cookie banners, chat widgets, or ads obscure the page: ScreenshotOne’s e-commerce guide documents blocking options and heuristic banner handling. Use them only when removal is appropriate, since hiding or blocking elements changes what the screenshot depicts.
  • The result remains incomplete after tuning: full-page rendering is not guaranteed to work on every page. Treat the screenshot as a rendered capture that may need verification, not proof that every part of the page was captured.

For the detailed settings and their current availability, refer to the options reference and the relevant full-page guide.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use slices and store the full-page result in the same request?

No. ScreenshotOne documents that full_page_slices=true cannot be combined with store=true.

Does a full-page screenshot guarantee that every part of a page will appear?

No. Rendering behavior varies by page, and ScreenshotOne says full-page rendering may not work for every page, even after tuning.
