zero fetch --capability httpay-xyz-4dbe32cb -d '<json body>'
```

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a visual snapshot of a webpage as a PNG image and want the result hosted on a CDN for immediate use. Prefer this over raw browser automation when you just need a quick screenshot without full control of the browser session. Powered by microlink.io, it is reliable and returns a ready-to-use image URL.
