SnapAPI — Web Intelligence for AI Agents

SnapAPI gives your agent eyes on the internet. One API, six capabilities:

Base URL: https://snapapi.tech Auth: X-API-Key: $SNAPAPI_API_KEY Free tier: 100 requests/month — get a key at https://snapapi.tech


Screenshot any URL

curl "https://snapapi.tech/v1/screenshot?url=https://example.com&format=png" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $SNAPAPI_API_KEY" \
  --output screenshot.png

Options: format=png|jpeg|webp, fullPage=true, darkMode=true, width=1280, height=800


Analyze a page (structured intelligence)

curl "https://snapapi.tech/v1/analyze?url=https://example.com" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $SNAPAPI_API_KEY"

Returns:

{
  "title": "Example Domain",
  "description": "...",
  "headings": [{ "level": 1, "text": "..." }],
  "links": [{ "text": "More info", "href": "https://..." }],
  "text_content": "...",
  "forms": [],
  "technologies": ["nginx"],
  "load_time_ms": 832
}

Use this when your agent needs to understand a page, not just see it.


Extract metadata (fast — no full render)

curl "https://snapapi.tech/v1/metadata?url=https://example.com" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $SNAPAPI_API_KEY"

Returns: title, description, OG tags, Twitter card, favicon, canonical URL. Faster than /analyze — use for link previews and SEO research.

curl "https://snapapi.tech/v1/pdf?url=https://example.com" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $SNAPAPI_API_KEY" \
  --output page.pdf

Options: format=A4|Letter, landscape=true, margin=20

Useful for generating OG images, email previews, or screenshots from dynamic HTML:

curl -X POST "https://snapapi.tech/v1/render" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $SNAPAPI_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"html": "<h1 style=\"color:blue\">Hello</h1>", "width": 800, "height": 400}'

  -H "X-API-Key: $SNAPAPI_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"urls": ["https://a.com", "https://b.com"], "action": "screenshot"}'
