REST Screenshoot is a free tool for capturing screenshots of webpages via a REST API. It provides a simple, easy-to-use endpoint URL for generating screenshots.

Wrong spelling!!! But you know what I mean right?!

To generate a screenshot, make a GET request to the following endpoint URL, replacing {url} with the URL of the webpage you want to capture:

https://rest-screenshoot.fly.dev/screenshot?url={url}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Example

To capture a screenshot of the React Table server-side pagination, search, and sort order story on Metaphore, use this URL:
