## 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 santos-website-screenshot-api-bb112e99 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you take a full-page desktop screenshot of https://example.com and give me a PNG of it?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a visual capture of a live webpage as a binary image or PDF. Prefer it over HTML-scraping endpoints when the output must be a rendered visual (e.g. for thumbnails, audits, archiving, or PDF generation). Choose PNG for lossless quality, JPEG for smaller file size, or PDF for document-style output.

## Known failure modes

- URL is not publicly accessible or returns a non-2xx status — render may fail or return a blank image
- Invalid or malformed URL provided — likely 4xx error
- Unsupported format requested — validation error on the format enum
- Target page has heavy JavaScript or long load times — may result in incomplete render
- Private/intranet URLs that the renderer cannot reach — connection timeout

## How this service works

Audit any website for AI Agent Readiness, MCP, llms.txt, OpenAPI, SEO, accessibility and security. Structured JSON with evidence and prioritized fixes.

## Output

Returns binary bytes of the rendered page as image/png, image/jpeg, or application/pdf depending on the requested format, along with an X-Render-Job header identifying the render job.
