About

This Utility API lets you dynamically capture screenshots of websites that are accessible.
It lets you capture screenshots that can serve as a form of documentation, allowing users to capture a moment in time and refer back to it later for reference or analysis. This can save time by allowing users to quickly capture important information without having to manually copy and paste text or data. These can be used for marketing purposes, such as showcasing a product or service on a website or social media platform.

Authentication

All API requests to ApyHub services need to be authenticated. Currently we support tokens or basic authentication mechanisms. You can generate and view your existing credentials from your workspace settings (on the left side of the navbar) and go to “API Keys".
Points to note:
  • Credential secrets are generated on the fly and are not stored in plain text, so on generating a credential please save the secrets somewhere safe.
  • Use the apy-token as the header parameter to pass the token.
  • Use the Authorization header to send the basic authentication credentials.
