Snapsnip provides a versioned HTTP API for rendering web content as PDF, PNG, JPEG, WebP, or AVIF files. Use a synchronous request when you need the result immediately, or submit an asynchronous capture for polling, webhooks, and managed downloads.
The API is designed for server-to-server use. Keep API keys out of browser bundles, public repositories, URLs, and client-side logs.

All capture endpoints require a bearer API key:

Synchronous capture

Send a capture request and receive the generated file in the same HTTP response.

Asynchronous capture

Submit work, poll its status, and download the completed result through an authenticated URL.

​
Public endpoints

The API Reference tab is generated from the backend’s OpenAPI 3.1 document and contains the authoritative schemas, request builder, response definitions, and callback contract.
