Get Screenshot
Capture full-page or viewport screenshots of dynamic, JavaScript-rendered web pages.
Overview
Selecting Get Screenshot in the Playground Use Case panel pre-configures the Playground environment specifically for visual page capture. When this preset is active, the Playground enables real browser rendering (browserRendering=true) by default so you can visually verify how dynamic web pages, client-side scripts, and layout elements render.
You can toggle between capturing the visible viewport (top) or rendering the full scrollable page (full).
Practical Applications
- Visual QA & Deployment Audits: Verify visual layout integrity across dynamic responsive viewports after deployments or design updates.
- Compliance & Legal Archiving: Maintain time-stamped visual proof of pricing, terms of service, disclosures, or ad placements.
- Competitor UI & Campaign Tracking: Monitor visual changes on competitor landing pages, promotional banners, and checkout flows over time.
- Scraper & Extraction Debugging: Inspect the exact page state when data extraction fails—instantly spot CAPTCHAs, cookie banners, bot blocks, or unexpected layouts.
- Automated Previews & Dashboards: Generate real-time page thumbnails and visual previews for internal dashboards, link previews, or reports.
