ScreenshotOne has a scrolling screenshot feature. It allows you to record videos of a page being scrolled. There is a variety of options to tune it and make it work for your case.

But one of the ScreenshotOne customers requested a new option—to stop scrolling screenshots when a given selector is visible.

For example, you want to record a video of a page being scrolled till the “pricing section” is visible and stop there for some reason. Or like in the example below, you want to record a video of a page being scrolled till the “code example” section:

Two new options have been added to the ScreenshotOne API to achieve that:

  1. scroll_till_selector—scroll till the selector is visible;
  2. And scroll_till_selector_adjust_top—adjust the top position of the selector in the viewport.

The resulting code for the example above will be:

https://api.screenshotone.com/animate?access_key=<YOUR API KEY>
&url=https://screenshotone.com/scrolling-screenshots/
&scenario=scroll
&scroll_till_selector=body%20%3E%20div:nth-child(8)

If you have any feedback or suggestions, please let us know at support@screenshotone.com.
