How it works

From URL to result in four steps

1
Send a URL
Call GET /v1/content with the URL and the outputs you want.
2
Render
The page loads in Chromium so client-side content is included.
3
Extract
Metadata, links, HTML and Markdown are extracted — optionally only the main content.
4
Use it
Index it for search, feed it to an LLM or store it for monitoring.

Features

Extraction built for search, LLMs and monitoring

HTML extraction

include_html returns the fully rendered DOM, after scripts have run.

Markdown

include_markdown converts the page to clean Markdown that's ready for embeddings and prompts.

Link scraper

Every link on the page, de-duplicated and grouped into internal, external and social.

Sitemap scraper

include_sitemap discovers the site's sitemap and returns its URLs.

Metadata parser

Title, description, favicon, Open Graph, canonical, language, keywords, author and schema.org.

Stealth mode

Fingerprint hardening and user-agent rotation for sites that block automated browsers.

Main content with Defuddle

use_defuddle strips navigation, sidebars, footers and comments, keeping only the article.

Field filtering

fields=data.metadata.title,data.links keeps responses small with dot-notation filtering.

Extract Markdown and metadata

Combine outputs freely in one call. You're charged one credit regardless of how many outputs you include.

const params = new URLSearchParams({
  url: "https://acme.example",
  include_markdown: "true",
  use_defuddle: "true",
});

const res = await fetch(`https://api.screenshotdude.com/v1/content?${params}`, {
  headers: { "x-api-key": process.env.SCREENSHOTDUDE_API_KEY },
});
const { success, data, error } = await res.json();
if (!success) throw new Error(error);
console.log(data);
