Screenshot Scout

Managed website screenshot API that strips cookie banners, chats and ads

About Screenshot Scout

Screenshot Scout is a developer API for rendering clean screenshots of web pages with a single HTTP call, automatically hiding cookie banners, chat widgets, and ads before capture. It supports custom viewports and device emulation, full-page capture, pre-capture clicks and injected CSS or JavaScript, and SDKs for major languages. Successful renders count against a monthly quota, with caching to avoid repeat charges.
