## Description

Securely connect your AI agents and chatbots (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, etc) with Screenshot API MCP or direct API to capture webpages, render HTML to PDFs, extract page content, and run bulk screenshot jobs through natural language.

## Summary

Screenshot API is a web rendering service that turns webpages and custom HTML into images, PDFs, videos, or extracted content.
It saves you from running browser infrastructure while supporting async bulk capture jobs at scale.

## Categories

- developer tools & devops

## Toolkit Details

- Tools: 5

## Images

- Logo: https://logos.composio.dev/api/screenshot_api

## Authentication

- **Api Key**
  - Type: `api_key`
  - Description: Api Key authentication for Screenshot API.
  - Setup:
    - Configure Api Key credentials for Screenshot API.
    - Use the credentials when creating an auth config in Composio.

## Suggested Prompts

- Capture full-page screenshots for competitors
- Convert landing pages into PDFs
- Extract page text from product URLs

## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |

## Installation and MCP Setup

### Path 1: SDK Installation

#### Path 1, Step 1: Install Composio

Install the Composio SDK
```python
pip install composio_openai
```

```typescript
npm install @composio/openai
```

#### Path 1, Step 2: Initialize Composio and Create Tool Router Session

Import and initialize Composio client, then create a Tool Router session
```python
from openai import OpenAI
from composio import Composio
from composio_openai import OpenAIResponsesProvider

composio = Composio(provider=OpenAIResponsesProvider())
openai = OpenAI()
session = composio.create(user_id='your-user-id')
```

```typescript
import OpenAI from 'openai';
import { Composio } from '@composio/core';
import { OpenAIResponsesProvider } from '@composio/openai';

const composio = new Composio({
  provider: new OpenAIResponsesProvider(),
});
const openai = new OpenAI({});
const session = await composio.create('your-user-id');
```

#### Path 1, Step 3: Execute Screenshot API Tools via Tool Router with Your Agent

Get tools from Tool Router session and execute Screenshot API actions with your Agent
```python
tools = session.tools
response = openai.responses.create(
  model='gpt-4.1',
  tools=tools,
  input=[{
    'role': 'user',
    'content': 'Capture https://example.com as a full-page PNG screenshot'
  }]
)
result = composio.provider.handle_tool_calls(
  response=response,
  user_id='your-user-id'
)
print(result)
```

```typescript
const tools = session.tools;
const response = await openai.responses.create({
  model: 'gpt-4.1',
  tools: tools,
  input: [{
    role: 'user',
    content: 'Capture https://example.com as a full-page PNG screenshot'
  }],
});
const result = await composio.provider.handleToolCalls(
  'your-user-id',
  response.output
);
console.log(result);
```

### Path 2: MCP Server Setup

#### Path 2, Step 1: Install Composio

Install the Composio SDK for Python or TypeScript
```python
pip install composio claude-agent-sdk
```

```typescript
npm install @composio/core ai @ai-sdk/openai @ai-sdk/mcp
```

#### Path 2, Step 2: Initialize Client and Create Tool Router Session

Import and initialize the Composio client, then create a Tool Router session for Screenshot API
```python
from composio import Composio
from claude_agent_sdk import ClaudeSDKClient, ClaudeAgentOptions

composio = Composio(api_key='your-composio-api-key')
session = composio.create(user_id='your-user-id')
url = session.mcp.url
```

```typescript
import { Composio } from '@composio/core';

const composio = new Composio({ apiKey: 'your-api-key' });
const session = await composio.create('your-user-id');
console.log(`Tool Router session created: ${session.mcp.url}`);
```

#### Path 2, Step 3: Connect to AI Agent

Use the MCP server with your AI agent (Anthropic Claude or Mastra)
```python
import asyncio

options = ClaudeAgentOptions(
    permission_mode='bypassPermissions',
    mcp_servers={
        'tool_router': {
            'type': 'http',
            'url': url,
            'headers': {
                'x-api-key': 'your-composio-api-key'
            }
        }
    },
    system_prompt='You are a helpful assistant with access to Screenshot API tools.',
    max_turns=10
)

async def main():
    async with ClaudeSDKClient(options=options) as client:
        await client.query('Render https://example.com as a PDF and return the file URL')
        async for message in client.receive_response():
            if hasattr(message, 'content'):
                for block in message.content:
                    if hasattr(block, 'text'):
                        print(block.text)

asyncio.run(main())
```

```typescript
import { openai } from '@ai-sdk/openai';
import { experimental_createMCPClient as createMCPClient } from '@ai-sdk/mcp';
import { generateText } from 'ai';

const client = await createMCPClient({
  transport: {
    type: 'http',
    url: session.mcp.url,
    headers: {
      'x-api-key': 'your-composio-api-key',
    },
  },
});

const tools = await client.tools();
const { text } = await generateText({
  model: openai('gpt-4o'),
  tools,
  messages: [{
    role: 'user',
    content: 'Render https://example.com as a PDF and return the file URL'
  }],
  maxSteps: 5,
});

console.log(`Agent: ${text}`);
```

## Why Use Composio?

### 1. AI Native Screenshot API Integration

- Supports both Screenshot API MCP and direct API based integrations
- Structured, LLM-friendly schemas for reliable screenshot, PDF, video, and extraction tasks
- Rich coverage for rendering webpages, custom HTML, and async bulk capture workflows

### 2. Managed Auth

- Secure API key handling without hard-coding Screenshot API credentials in your agent code
- Central place to manage, scope, and revoke Screenshot API access
- Per user and per environment credentials, so dev, staging, and production stay cleanly separated

### 3. Agent Optimized Design

- Tools are tuned using real error and success rates to improve capture reliability over time
- Clear inputs for common jobs like full-page screenshots, PDF rendering, HTML capture, and content extraction
- Comprehensive execution logs so you always know what ran, when, and on whose behalf

### 4. Enterprise Grade Security

- Fine-grained RBAC so you control which agents and users can access Screenshot API
- Scoped, least privilege access to Screenshot API rendering and capture workflows
- Full audit trail of agent actions to support review, debugging, and compliance
