How do I create a screenshot via API?
Creating the Screenshot
You can create a screenshot by sending a POST request to /screenshots with a website URL, and a height and width.
Retrieving the Screenshot
You can poll the GET request to the /screenshots/:uid endpoint for status updates and retrieve the Screenshot object referenced by its uid.
Using a Webhook
By using a webhook, you can be notified when the screenshot is rendered. Use the webhook_url parameter to tell Bannerbear where to POST the full Screenshot object, once the rendering is completed. The screenshot object will be posted to your webhook as JSON.
Using a synchronous request
As an alternative to polling the GET endpoint or using webhooks, you can generate screenshots synchronously. This is where your API request is held open until the media file has finished generating. The API will then respond with the completed screenshot object. To make a synchronous request, use the synchronous base URL ( https://sync.api.bannerbear.com ). The API required attributes / parameters function the same as normal.
