ScreenshotAPI (screenshotapi.to) is a hosted screenshot and PDF capture API — send a URL or raw HTML, get back a PNG, JPEG, WebP or PDF without running browser infrastructure. The contract is deliberately small: one screenshot resource answering both GET and POST, plus a health check. What sets it apart from its size is the agent-readable surface around it — an llms.txt on the root, a 302KB llms-full.txt, a separate docs llms.txt, an agent install guide, a dedicated AI-agents page, and per-page markdown by appending .md to any /docs/ URL. An MCP server exists but runs locally over stdio and is not yet published to npm, so it is described here rather than advertised as a hosted endpoint. Not to be confused with ScreenshotAPI.net, a different company in the same category — see the screenshotapi-net entry.
ScreenshotAPI publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network: Screenshots API. Tagged areas include Screenshots, Website Screenshots, URL to Image, URL to PDF, and HTML to Image.
Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it
carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts
themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already
holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in
front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created.
Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet,
not penalised by it.

not_asserted:
apis_json: The submission gave https://screenshotapi.to/apis.json as the descriptor URL. It returns 404 and serves an
HTML error page, so this profile was built from the OpenAPI and llms.txt instead. Worth telling the provider — it is
what they advertise.
mcp: screenshotapi.to/mcp documents four MCP tools, but the page states the server "runs locally over stdio today" with
"npm publication pending namespace confirmation". A local-install MCP is not a hosted endpoint, so no MCP property is
emitted — only this note. Revisit once it is published and reachable.
note: Built from the provider's published OpenAPI and llms.txt after their advertised apis.json was found missing. Operation,
path and schema counts were measured from the fetched spec. Rate limits are not asserted — none were found published.
