Screenshot API for WordPress
Capturing website screenshots from WordPress usually means running and scaling a headless browser yourself. With Snapraven you skip all of that — generate preview thumbnails for posts and links from PHP.
Example in WordPress
$png = wp_remote_get(
'https://api.snapraven.app/v1/screenshot?url=' . urlencode($url),
['headers' => ['x-api-key' => SHOTFORGE_KEY]]
);
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 WordPress
- ✓ No headless Chrome to install, run, or scale.
- ✓ A single HTTP request — works anywhere WordPress can make a fetch.
- ✓ Full-page capture, custom viewport, PNG or JPEG.
- ✓ Free tier with 100 requests per month to start.
