I do write a lot about how to automate website screenshots, but I rarely share about what tools I use to make beautiful screenshots on the daily basis.

Two years have passed since the launch of ScreenshotOne, and I want to do a fun coding exercise and build a tiny subset of what the API is today, but from scratch.

You don't need a screenshot API if it is a one-off task for you and you can use some library for screenshotting.

The truth is, that there is no single best screenshot API that fits everyone. But some APIs stand out and shine when compared to others. Also, it depends on your use case and needs which must be included in considering what API to use.

There is a set of use cases when you want to fail screenshot rendering and retry it if the content of the page contains a string.
