No Manual Screenshots: I Built a Scalable Screenshot API Using Cloud Playwright

1•pageops_fz•3h ago
Hi HN,

I built a developer-first screenshot API powered by cloud Playwright.

The idea came from a common problem: manually capturing website screenshots is slow, unreliable, and hard to scale — especially for monitoring, QA, and automation pipelines.

With PageOps, you can capture screenshots with a simple HTTP request:

curl -X POST "https://api.page-ops.com/api/v1/screenshots" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $API_KEY" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"url":"https://example.com"}'

Key features: - Async jobs for high throughput - Full-page and viewport customization - Playwright-powered rendering for real-world pages - API key auth with quotas and rate limits - Works in CI/CD, cron jobs, or your backend

Try it instantly in the Playground: https://app.page-ops.com

I also wrote a detailed guide here: [Automate Website Screenshots with PageOps Screenshot API](https://app.page-ops.com/en-US/automate-website-screenshots)

Would love feedback from the community — especially on API design and real-world use cases.
