> Rasterly Screenshot API is a paid API for AI agents from rasterly-x402-production.up.railway.app, paid per call via x402, $0.003/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-13).

Renders any URL as a PNG, JPEG, or PDF screenshot via headless browser and returns raw image bytes

## 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 rasterly-screenshot-api-e3cd3d5b
```

Example prompt: Can you take a full-page PNG screenshot of https://news.ycombinator.com at 1280px wide so I can see what it looks like right now?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a pixel-accurate visual rendering of a live webpage — especially when downstream tasks require an image or PDF rather than raw HTML. Ideal for visual QA, archiving, generating thumbnails, or feeding page screenshots to vision-capable LLMs. Prefer this over HTML-scraping endpoints when layout, styling, and visual fidelity matter, or when the target page is heavily JavaScript-rendered.

## Known failure modes

- Target URL unreachable or returns an error — browser may capture an error page or time out
- Invalid or missing url parameter — request rejected
- Unsupported format value — only png, jpeg, pdf accepted
- Timeout if the target page takes too long to load
- Payment not received or x402 handshake fails — request blocked
- quality parameter ignored for PNG format (JPEG only)

## How this service works

The web-rendering layer for AI agents, sold per-call over the x402 payment protocol. Turn any URL into a screenshot, a PDF, or clean LLM-ready Markdown. No API keys, no accounts.

## Output

Raw binary bytes of the rendered page in the requested format (PNG, JPEG, or PDF), returned with the appropriate content-type header (e.g. image/png). Not JSON — the response body is the image or document file itself.
