Frequently Asked Questions

If you are hesitating, do not worry - we are here to explain everything you might want to know. Let us help!

What is web scraping?: The method of automatically gathering information or retrieving data from websites by using scripts/API's is called Web Scraping. Web Scraping can be utilized for gathering data for a number of different purposes including competitor research, lead generation, SEO analysis, monitoring competitors, price checking, and automating workflows.

With ScreenshotAPI you are able to scrape fully structured Web Pages, including text, HTML, markdown and links, without having to maintain your own browsers or web scraping infrastructure.
Is scraping legal?: While web scraping is basically allowed when gathering data which is publicly accessible while complying with laws, terms of service for a website and privacy regulations, web scraping can violate laws or contracts by scraping private, copyrighted, restricted or personal information without prior permission.

To be sure you can scrape a website, please check the terms of use (user agreements), robots.txt and any applicable data protection regulations in your area.
How can I extract text from a screenshot?: Text extraction is possible by adding extract_text = true in your API call. In this case, the API will produce a text file in addition to the screenshot.

The text file will have all the textual information from the webpage. You do not need to manually extract the text from the screenshot.
Can I copy text from a screenshot?: Copying text directly from an image is not possible. But you have the option to activate the extract_text parameter when making your request. It creates an additional text file, from which you can easily copy the content.
How to scrape a website that requires login?: To access login-protected websites, you can use authenticated cookies with ScreenshotAPI instead of building a full scraper.

First, add your authenticated cookies in the ScreenshotAPI dashboard. Once added, you will receive a template_id. This template_id allows the API to reuse your logged-in session when capturing or scraping pages.
