Tutorials, comparisons, and guides for screenshot APIs, video recording, PDF generation, and web automation.
Go has no headless browser. No CGo, no subprocess, no sidecar — one HTTP POST to a capture API returns a binary PNG or PDF. Standard library only.
Read more →One HTTP request replaces ChromeDriver, Selenium, and Playwright. Works in Django views, Flask routes, management commands, and any Python serverless environment.
Read more →Puppeteer adds 400MB of Chromium to your deploy and breaks in serverless. One fetch call handles the same job — Express routes, Lambda handlers, Vercel functions, no config.
Read more →React apps, SPAs, and lazy-loaded pages need a real browser before capture. Get screenshots, PDFs, and structured element maps without managing Puppeteer.
Read more →Wrap a capture service in a small Express API, add LRU caching, and give every service in your stack a single internal endpoint — no browser to manage.
Read more →Self-hosted browser MCPs hit procurement walls fast. Enterprise teams need uptime SLAs, audit logs, and a vendor they can questionnaire — here's why PageBolt already is that.
Read more →Skip Puppeteer in your server and Chromium in Docker. Render your component to HTML, POST it to a capture API, get a PDF back — works in Pages Router and App Router.
Read more →Browserless hosts Chromium so your Puppeteer scripts keep running. PageBolt skips the script entirely — direct endpoints for screenshots, PDFs, narrated video, and MCP.
Read more →Screenshots burn tokens parsing pixels. Raw DOM is 50KB of noise. The /inspect endpoint returns a structured element map — exactly what an agent needs to act, immediately.
Read more →Competing browser MCPs run multi-step control loops that consume hundreds of tokens per session. PageBolt is one tool call, one result — here's the architectural difference.
Read more →Apify is a full scraping platform. PageBolt is a focused capture API. Here's when each makes sense — and why developers building with AI agents keep reaching for PageBolt.
Read more →Show users exactly how your checkout flow works before they commit. Record a narrated walkthrough automatically — regenerates when your checkout changes.
Read more →We're launching PageBolt — 7 web capture APIs under one key. Screenshots, PDFs, OG images, video recording with Audio Guide narration, browser sequences, and an MCP server for AI agents.
Read more →A detailed feature-by-feature comparison of the top screenshot APIs in 2026. Pricing, capabilities, and which one fits your use case.
Read more →Looking for a ScreenshotOne alternative? PageBolt gives you screenshots, PDFs, video recording, OG images, and more — all under one API key.
Read more →Step-by-step guide to capturing website screenshots programmatically. Code examples in Node.js, Python, and Go with the PageBolt API.
Read more →Memory leaks, timeout errors, dependency hell. Here's why developers are switching from DIY Puppeteer to managed screenshot APIs.
Read more →Generate professional product demo videos from code. Cursor effects, click highlighting, step notes, and AI voice narration — all via API.
Read more →Urlbox is great for screenshots. But what if you also need PDFs, OG images, video recording, and browser automation? Meet PageBolt.
Read more →Many sites block headless browsers before a single frame renders. Record narrated video demos and run multi-step sequences through bot detection walls — without managing your own stealth infrastructure.
Read more →Token-efficient browser MCPs are proliferating. Here's what they do well, what they cannot do, and why narrated video recording changes the comparison entirely.
Read more →A 20-line GitHub Actions workflow that records a narrated MP4 on every PR — showing the actual feature, with an AI voice walking through it, attached directly to the PR thread.
Read more →Skip the PDF library. Generate pixel-perfect PDF invoices from HTML templates using a single API call — works in any language, no headless browser to manage.
Read more →Take website screenshots in Node.js with a single fetch call — no Puppeteer, no binary dependencies. Then step up to narrated video recording when you need more.
Read more →Open-source MCP browser tools are unaudited and self-hosted. PageBolt MCP is a managed service with SSRF protection, rate limiting, and request logging — the accountability layer AI workflows need.
Read more →Skip the Puppeteer setup. Record narrated browser automation videos, take screenshots, and generate PDFs in Node.js with a single fetch call and no local browser.
Read more →No browser to install, no Puppeteer to configure. One curl command, one PNG back — with full-page, mobile, cookie, and stealth options.
Read more →Skip the 40MB layer, 2GB memory bump, and 10s cold starts. A single fetch call handles screenshots, PDFs, and S3 saves — Lambda stays at 128MB.
Read more →If your Selenium script ends with save_screenshot() and no assertions, you're using a test runner as a file generator. Here's the Python-native alternative.
Read more →Playwright is 400MB of browser infrastructure for a side job. An API call does screenshots, PDFs, and narrated video with zero install — here's the full comparison.
Read more →One GitHub Action. An AI agent reads your PR diff, inspects your preview, and records a narrated demo video — no spec files, no configuration.
Read more →Wire screenshots, page inspection, and video audit trails into your LLM agent loop. Includes MCP server setup for Claude Desktop and Cursor.
Read more →Generate dynamic OG images for blog posts, products, and dashboards with a single API call. No serverless function, no headless browser to maintain.
