SDK and Code Examples

Go

It takes minutes to start taking screenshots in Go. Just sign up to get access and secret keys, import the client, and you are ready to go.

Installation 

go get github.com/screenshotone/gosdk

Usage

Import the library:

import screenshots "github.com/screenshotone/gosdk"

Generate a screenshot URL without executing request:

client, err := screenshots.NewClient("IVmt2ghj9TG_jQ", "Sxt94yAj9aQSgg")
if err != nil {
    // ...
}

options := screenshots.NewTakeOptions("https://scalabledeveloper.com").
    Format("png").
    FullPage(true).
    DeviceScaleFactor(2).
    BlockAds(true).
    BlockTrackers(true)

u, err := client.GenerateTakeURL(options)
if err != nil {
    // ...
}

fmt.Println(u.String())
// Output: https://api.screenshotone.com/take?access_key=IVmt2ghj9TG_jQ&block_ads=true&block_trackers=true&device_scale_factor=2&format=png&full_page=true&url=https%3A%2F%2Fscalabledeveloper.com&signature=85aabf7ac251563ec6158ef6839dd019bb79ce222cc85288a2e8cea0291a824e

Take a screenshot and save the image in the file:

client, err := screenshots.NewClient("IVmt2ghj9TG_jQ", "Sxt94yAj9aQSgg")
if err != nil {
    // ...
}

options := screenshots.NewTakeOptions("https://example.com").
    Format("png").
    FullPage(true).
    DeviceScaleFactor(2).
    BlockAds(true).
    BlockTrackers(true)

image, err := client.Take(context.TODO(), options)
if err != nil {
    // ...
}

defer image.Close()
out, err := os.Create("example.png")
if err != nil {
    // ...
}

defer out.Close()
io.Copy(out, image)

Java

It takes minutes to start taking screenshots in Java. Just sign up to get access and secret keys, import the client, and you are ready to go.

Installation

Add dependency to your pom.xml:

<dependencies>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>com.screenshotone.jsdk</groupId>
        <artifactId>screenshotone-api-jsdk</artifactId>
        <version>[1.0.0,2.0.0)</version>
    </dependency>
</dependencies>

Usage

Generate a screenshot URL without executing request:

import com.screenshotone.jsdk.Client;
import com.screenshotone.jsdk.TakeOptions;

public class App {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        final Client client = Client.withKeys("IVmt2ghj9TG_jQ", "Sxt94yAj9aQSgg");
        TakeOptions takeOptions = TakeOptions.url("https://scalabledeveloper.com")
                .fullPage(true)
                .deviceScaleFactor(1)
                .viewportHeight(1200)
                .viewportWidth(1200)
                .format("png")
                .omitBackground(true);
        final String url = client.generateTakeUrl(takeOptions);

        System.out.println(url);
        // Output: https://api.screenshotone.com/take?access_key=IVmt2ghj9TG_jQ&device_scale_factor=1&format=png&full_page=true&omit_background=true&url=https%3A%2F%2Fscalabledeveloper.com&viewport_height=1200&viewport_width=1200&signature=3c0c5543599067322e8c84470702330e3687c6a08eef6b7311b71c32d04e1bd5
    }
}

Usually you generate URL to place it inside the image tag () or to share it.

Take a screenshot and save the image in the file:

import com.screenshotone.jsdk.Client;
import com.screenshotone.jsdk.TakeOptions;

import java.io.File;
import java.nio.file.Files;

public class App {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        final Client client = Client.withKeys("IVmt2ghj9TG_jQ", "Sxt94yAj9aQSgg");
        TakeOptions takeOptions = TakeOptions.url("https://scalabledeveloper.com")
                .fullPage(true)
                .deviceScaleFactor(1)
                .viewportHeight(1200)
                .viewportWidth(1200)
                .format("png")
                .omitBackground(true);
        final byte[] image = client.take(takeOptions);

        Files.write(new File("./example.png").toPath(), image);
    }
}

# You can set any available option, in a camel_case format, for example:
options = ScreenshotOne::TakeOptions.new(url: 'https://example.com').
            full_page(true).
            delay(2).

# Verify all the parameters are valid (we will validate the parameters that should be
# numeric, booleans or that accept only certain values)
options.valid?
=> true

# To simply get the final url:
client.generate_take_url(options)
=> "https://api.screenshotone.com/take?url=https%3A%2F%2Fexample.com..."

# To actually get the image (the response body of a request to the previous url)
client.take(options)
=> "\xFF\xD8\xFF\xE0\x00\x10JFIF\x00\x01\x01\x00\x00\x01\x00\x01\x00\x00\xFF\..."
