Common questions

Is Shotanvil safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.0.0) reached the registry 2 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

shotanvil-examples

Usage examples and a live-synced OpenAPI spec copy for the shotanvil screenshot API — 1 screenshot = 1 request, a free tier that's actually free, from $9/mo.

Base URL: https://api.shotanvil.com

Access paths

GET /take and POST /render-html accept three access paths, checked in this order:

x402 — send an X-Payment header (pay-per-call, no signup, testnet-settled).
API key — send X-Api-Key: or ?access_key= .
Keyless — no credential, IP-rate-limited, only when the operator has keyless access enabled.

An invalid API key always fails with 401 and never falls through to keyless, even when keyless is enabled — a typo'd paying key never silently downgrades to a lower tier.

Get an API key at shotanvil.com.

Quickstart

Take a screenshot:

curl "https://api.shotanvil.com/take?url=https://example.com" \

-H "X-Api-Key: $SHOTANVIL_API_KEY" \ -o screenshot.png

Get text + metadata as JSON instead of raw bytes:

curl "https://api.shotanvil.com/take?url=https://example.com&response_format=json" \

-H "X-Api-Key: $SHOTANVIL_API_KEY"

Render inline HTML:

curl -X POST https://api.shotanvil.com/render-html \

-H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -H "X-Api-Key: $SHOTANVIL_API_KEY" \ -d '{"html": " Hello "}' \ -o out.png

More runnable examples: examples/curl.sh, examples/node/screenshot.mjs.

Common `GET /take` parameters

Param	Type	Notes
`url`	string, required	Target page URL, http/https only.
`format`	string	`png` (default), `jpeg`, `webp`, or `pdf`.
`full_page`	bool	Capture the full scrollable page height, not just the viewport.
`viewport_width` / `viewport_height`	int	320–3840 / 240–2160.
`cache_ttl`	int	Seconds to cache this exact render, 0–86400.
`fresh`	bool	Bypass the cache read for this request.
`block_ads`	bool	Block ad-network requests via an EasyList-derived blocklist.
`block_cookie_banners`	bool	Inject a CSS kill-list that hides common cookie-consent banners.
`dark_mode`	bool	Emulate `prefers-color-scheme: dark` before navigation.
`response_format`	string	`binary` (default) returns raw bytes; `json` wraps image (base64) + extracted text/metadata.

Full parameter reference, request/response schemas, and every field's worked example live in openapi.json — open it in any OpenAPI viewer (e.g. editor.swagger.io) for the browsable version.

Rate limits

Each API key has a per-second rate limit and a daily call cap. GET /usage reports the current key's usage for the day. Exceeding either returns 429 with a retry_after_s field.

Keeping `openapi.json` in sync

openapi.json in this repo is a point-in-time copy, fetched from the live GET https://api.shotanvil.com/openapi.json endpoint — it is not hand-written and will drift as the API evolves.

Before relying on it for anything beyond casual browsing, or before any future update to this repo, re-fetch and diff:

curl -sS https://api.shotanvil.com/openapi.json -o /tmp/openapi.latest.json

diff openapi.json /tmp/openapi.latest.json

If they differ, review the diff, replace openapi.json with the fresh copy, and commit — do not hand-edit openapi.json directly.
