Frequently Asked Questions
Geekflare Screenshot API is a service to capture website images. Instead of maintaining your own headless browsers, you simply send a REST API request, and we handle the rendering, proxies, and infrastructure to return a high-quality image.
The generated Geekflare CDN URLs are valid for 30 days. After this period, the images are automatically deleted. If your business requires longer retention periods, please contact us.
Generating a screenshot consumes 5 credits per request.
This usually happens when the target site uses sophisticated security measures, WAFs, or IP rate limiting to block automated traffic.
You may route your request through our residential proxy network by adding the proxyCountry parameter. This makes your request appear as a real user from a specific location. Please note that using premium proxies consumes 2 additional credits per request.
