4.8 TrustScoreI got the free trial and in less than a minute I already integrated with their API to scrape Google, matter of fact they had all the plug-and-play codes ready for me, It was seamless. I am about to upgrade as I have used up my trial credits.
I love how you can use it to scrape data from Google.
Scrapingdog is an awesome service. I use it with my Local Leads Sniper system and thanks to it I have been able to land a few clients since it gave me all the info that my client's Google Business Profile was missing. Great service!
Amazing service. I am using it for Google Maps reviews and it works perfectly. I have also used Live chat and they were very fast and punctual on responses. 100% recommended.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Screenshot API?
The Screenshot API allows you to programmatically capture real-time screenshots of web pages, offering a simple way to integrate webpage visualization into your applications.
What formats are screenshots available in?
Screenshots can be captured and delivered in PNG.
Can I edit the screenshots taken via the API?
The API typically captures and delivers the screenshot as is, but you can use additional software or processing scripts to edit the images once you have received them.
What happens if the webpage changes during the screenshot process?
The API captures the webpage as it is at the moment of the request. If the page content changes during the capture process, these changes may not be reflected in the screenshot unless another capture is initiated.
