Screenshot API for Next.js
Capturing website screenshots from Next.js usually means running and scaling a headless browser yourself. With Snapraven you skip all of that — call Snapraven from a Next.js route handler or server action.
Example in Next.js
const res = await fetch(
`https://api.snapraven.app/v1/screenshot?url=${target}`,
{ headers: { 'x-api-key': process.env.SHOTFORGE_KEY! } }
);
const png = await res.arrayBuffer();
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 Next.js
- ✓ No headless Chrome to install, run, or scale.
- ✓ A single HTTP request — works anywhere Next.js can make a fetch.
- ✓ Full-page capture, custom viewport, PNG or JPEG.
- ✓ Free tier with 100 requests per month to start.
