Screenshot API for Django
Capturing website screenshots from Django usually means running and scaling a headless browser yourself. With Snapraven you skip all of that — render link previews inside your Django views.
Example in Django
import requests
png = requests.get(
'https://api.snapraven.app/v1/screenshot',
params={'url': url}, headers={'x-api-key': settings.SHOTFORGE_KEY}
).content
That's the entire integration. Snapraven renders the page in a real Chromium browser and
returns a PNG or JPEG. Add fullPage=true
for the full scrollable page, or width/height for custom viewports.
Why developers use Snapraven with Django
- ✓ No headless Chrome to install, run, or scale.
- ✓ A single HTTP request — works anywhere Django can make a fetch.
- ✓ Full-page capture, custom viewport, PNG or JPEG.
- ✓ Free tier with 100 requests per month to start.
