About
ScreenshotOf is a screenshot API that returns homepage captures for websites by path and date. The landing page shows example requests for domains such as /bbc.co.uk and dated captures like /bbc.co.uk/2026-04, with optional parameters for image size and output format.
It supports monthly date selectors from 2024-01 through 2026-04, image sizes of 128, 256, 512, and 2048, and output formats of png, md, and json. The page states that screenshots of homepages not in the top ~1 million websites are generated on demand, and that up to 1,000 requests per day can be made without an API key.
- Homepage screenshot generation by domain

- 1,000 daily requests without API key
- On-demand captures for long-tail sites
Free Tier Value
This free tier is genuinely usable for light developer work: it allows up to 1,000 requests per day without an API key, includes PNG/Markdown/JSON outputs, and supports multiple screenshot sizes. Because it is capped but recurring and has no credit-card friction, it’s worth a small but real amount — roughly $3/month for a buyer comparing it to a modest paid screenshot API, with the main limiter being the daily request cap and on-demand delays for some pages.
What's included in the free tier
- Up to 1,000 requests per day without an API key.
- Homepage screenshots for non-top-1-million websites are generated on demand, with a few seconds delay.
- Access to screenshot outputs in PNG format.
- Access to screenshot outputs in Markdown format.
- Access to screenshot outputs in JSON format.
- Screenshot size options of 128, 256, 512, and 2048.
