    "error_message": "The resulting image is too large for the specified format.",

Reasons and how to fix

Using image formats with size limits for full-page screenshots

The JPEG format has a height limit of 65,535 pixels, WebP format has a height limit of 16,383 pixels.

Full-page screenshots that don’t fit the size limits will trigger the error resulting_image_too_large.

A solution would be is to choose the format that fits your use case better. E.g. if you use WebP, try to use JPEG. Or maybe try PNG.

Limiting the height of the full-page screenshot

If it happens for full-page screenshots, you can set the full_page_max_height option to make sure the height of the resulting image always fits the specified format, e.g. set it to 16000 for WebP format or 60000 for JPEG format.

Reducing the device scale factor

If the issue is with the size of the page, you can try to reduce the device scale factor by setting the device_scale_factor option to a lower value, e.g. 1 instead of 2.

Combining the options

You can try to combine all the options above to find the best solution for your use case.

Or you can even send API requests as-is, but when you encounter the error, just perform a retry with the limited full page height or lower device scale factor, or even a different format.
