Getting Started with Screenshotly

Welcome aboard! This guide will walk you through the initial steps to get Screenshotly up and running. We'll cover creating your account, obtaining your API key, and making your first screenshot request.

Step 1: Create an Account

To use Screenshotly, you need to have an account. If you haven't done this yet, sign up here. It's a quick and straightforward process.

Step 2: Obtain Your API Key

Your API key is essential for authenticating your requests. After registering, you can find your API key in the API settings of your account dashboard.

Step 3: Make Your First Screenshot Request

Once you have your API key, you're ready to make your first request. Here's a simple example using "curl":

curl -X POST https://api.screenshotly.io/screenshot \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
-d '{
  "url": "https://www.example.com",
  "output": "url"
}'

Replace "YOUR_API_KEY" with the API key you obtained in Step 2. This request will capture a screenshot of the specified URL and return the screenshot URL in the response.
