> x402-tools Screenshot API is a paid API for AI agents from x402.nichospt.net, paid per call via x402, $0.02/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-10).

Captures a screenshot of any public URL and returns the image as PNG or JPEG binary data, paid per-call in USDC via x402.

## 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 x402-tools-screenshot-api-0c482149 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Take a full-page screenshot of https://example.com at 1280x800 resolution and give me the result as a PNG — wait until the network is fully idle before capturing.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a visual rendering of a live webpage — e.g. to visually verify a site's appearance, generate a preview thumbnail, or inspect layout without running a local browser. Prefer this over HTML scraping when the visual output itself matters, or when JavaScript-heavy pages must be fully rendered before capture. The pay-per-call x402 model means no subscription is needed — ideal for infrequent or agent-driven use.

## Known failure modes

- URL is unreachable or returns a non-2xx status — capture may fail or return a blank/error page
- Private or localhost URLs will not be accessible from the server
- Very long pages with full_page=true may timeout or exceed memory limits
- Invalid URL format returns a validation error
- JPEG quality parameter is ignored when format is PNG
- Extremely high resolutions (near max 3840x2160) may increase latency or fail

## How this service works

Pay-per-call utility APIs for AI agents, settled in USDC via the x402 protocol.

## Output

Returns a binary image (PNG or JPEG) of the rendered webpage at the requested dimensions. The response is the raw image data, not a URL. The image reflects the page state at the specified wait_until event (e.g. networkidle2 means all network activity has settled before capture).
