What is it?

Microlink screenshot is an easy way for taking an screenshot of any website in a programmatic way using
Microlink API
.

How does it work?

For taking a screenshot, just you have to pass
screenshot
 query parameter against
Microlink API
.
The screenshot is taken running a chromium browser hosted on our own servers. Servers run the browser on top of optimized hardware to ensure the screenshot is taken fast as possible but also under security isolation condition, spawning a new browser per every new request, meaning no browsers are shared between requests.
After that, the screenshot is uploaded into Microlink CDN and served across +140 edges nodes to ensure the best worldwide access time.

Why not run my own solution?

The service aims to avoid headaches, preventing you for running and maintaining your own infrastructure.
Every URL on the Internet are different and browser are a complex piece of software, with unpredictable resources usage.
The fact of resolve any URL at scale in
2.32 secs
isn’t a trivial thing.
