Playwright-Powered Screenshots Without the Infrastructure
GoScreenAPI runs Playwright under the hood. You get all the rendering power — without managing browsers, servers, or dependencies.
// Self-hosted Playwright (you manage this)
const browser = await chromium.launch();
const page = await browser.newPage();
await page.goto('https://example.com');
await page.screenshot({ fullPage: true, path: 'shot.png' });
await browser.close();
// GoScreenAPI (one line, no infra)
const { image_url } = await (await fetch('https://goscreenapi.com/api/v1/screenshot', {
method: 'POST', headers: { 'X-API-Key': 'gsc_your_key', 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
body: JSON.stringify({ url: 'https://example.com', full_page: true })
})).json();
