Fields
| Field | Type | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|
url | string | required | The page to load. A public http or https address: private, loopback, link-local, CGNAT and cloud-metadata addresses, localhost, .local/.internal names and names that resolve to them are refused (400 invalid_url). |
country | string | "random" | Two-letter country for the exit IP and for the page's locale, timezone, geolocation and Accept-Language (see countries); "random" picks one. Unknown codes: 400 invalid_country. |
max_wait | number | 20 | Seconds to wait for the page to load, 1–60 (400 invalid_option otherwise). The whole call returns within about max_wait + 5 s, so a client timeout of max_wait + 10 s is safe. A page that is still loading then comes back partial (below); one that never started: 408 page_timeout. |
proxy | string or string[] | the Community proxy | Omit it to use the free Community proxy in country. Or: your own proxy URL (http://, https://, socks5://), a list (one is picked per call), a cdpfleet-plan… token, or a residential cdpfleet-resi… token (tier, country, device OS, sticky session) billed per GB to your residential balance (proxies). proxy_rules isn't supported yet (400 invalid_option). |
format | string | "png" | "png" or "jpeg". |
full_page | boolean | false | true captures the whole scrollable page, up to 20,000 px tall (taller pages are clipped). |
width | number | 1280 | Viewport width, 320–3840. |
height | number | 720 | Viewport height, 240–2160. |
Good to know
- The page loads, then waits for the network to go quiet (up to 10 s, within
max_wait) so late images and fonts are in the picture.
