Facts

Website: apiscreenshot.com
Price: Free tier · from $7.20/mo
Free trial: No
Ad controls: The page says callers can request common ad-slot removal with blockAds and can disable cookie-banner removal with blockCookieBanners set to false.
AI integration: APIScreenshot provides a drop-in MCP server for Claude and other MCP-capable clients.
Capture options: It supports full-page capture, CSS-selector element capture, custom viewports, and device scale factors.
Cookie cleanup: Cookie banners, consent popups, and overlays are automatically removed before capture by default.
Formats: It returns PNG by default and also supports JPEG and WebP output.
HTML input: The API can render user-supplied HTML as well as capture a live URL.
Limitations: The FAQ says aggressive CAPTCHA or fingerprinting protections are out of scope for now and describes consent-or-pay walls as visually hidden rather than legally consented to.
Metering: One screenshot uses one credit, while cached results and failed requests are not billed.
Network safety: Requests to private, internal, and loopback addresses are blocked by default.
Plan limit: When a plan's monthly screenshot allowance is reached, requests are hard-capped with HTTP 402 rather than billed as overage.
Programming access: The page shows API use from cURL, Node, or Python with a Bearer token and says no SDK is needed.
Screenshot retention: The page says screenshots are rendered transiently and not persisted by default, with bytes streamed back to the caller.
