## 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 utilshed-screenshot-api-cefc9ef7 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you take a full-page screenshot of https://example.com at 1280x800 resolution and save it as a PNG?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a quick, cheap ($0.01 USDC), no-signup visual snapshot of a public webpage — ideal for monitoring visual changes, capturing receipts, verifying page content, or generating thumbnails. Prefer this over browser automation SDKs when you just need a one-off image without managing a headless browser.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unreachable URL returns an error
- Viewport dimensions exceed maximum (3840x2160) causing rejection
- Paywalled or login-protected pages may render login screens instead of content
- Timeout if the target URL is very slow to load
- Invalid format enum value (not png or jpeg) causes schema validation failure

## How this service works

Free online tools for developers and everyone. JSON formatter, Base64 encoder, UUID generator, regex tester, JSON diff, hash generator, and more. No signup required.

## Output

Returns a rendered image (PNG or JPEG) of the webpage at the specified URL, captured at the given viewport dimensions, optionally as a full-page scroll screenshot
