# Agent Screenshot Hub

> Agent Screenshot Hub is a paid API for AI agents from shot.netzhandwerker.de, paid per call via x402, $0.004/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Captures a screenshot of any web page (viewport or full-page) and returns a base64 image, a short-lived fetch URL, byte size, load time, and final HTTP status.

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability agent-screenshot-hub-528341d7 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Take a full-page screenshot of https://example.com at 1280x800 in PNG format with dark mode on and cookie banners removed, then give me the image and the load time.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs a visual snapshot of a rendered web page — including JavaScript-heavy SPAs — along with metadata like load time and HTTP status. It is especially useful when you need dark mode rendering, cookie banner suppression, or element-level capture via CSS selector. Prefer it over generic scraping endpoints when the visual representation of the page matters, not just raw HTML.

## Known failure modes

- Target URL is unreachable or returns a non-2xx status — load time and status code are still reported but the screenshot may be blank
- CSS selector not found on page — capture fails or returns empty element screenshot
- Page exceeds 20-second render budget (including delay_ms) — request times out
- Invalid URL format — request rejected with validation error
- selector used together with full_page:true — rejected as incompatible combination

## How this service works

Viewport or full page, optional element selector, dark mode and cookie banner removal. Returns base64 image plus a short lived fetch URL, byte size, load time and the final HTTP status of the page.

## Output

Returns a base64-encoded image of the rendered page (in PNG, WebP, or JPEG), a short-lived URL to fetch the image directly, the byte size of the image, the page load time in milliseconds, and the final HTTP status code of the target page.
