From Screenshot to AI Insights: Analyzing Real Websites with an API

Modern websites are dynamic, JavaScript-heavy, and often protected by cookie banners or client-side logic.

Traditional crawlers and HTML parsers fail to capture what users actually see.

In this article, I’ll show how we analyze a fully rendered web page using a Screenshot + AI API to extract:

  • Full-page screenshots
  • Content summaries
  • Topic detection
  • Quality & readability signals

👉 Real example with request & response:

This approach works reliably on:

  • React / Vue / Angular apps
  • SEO landing pages
  • Production websites
