SnapAPI — Web Intelligence for AI Agents
SnapAPI gives your agent eyes on the internet. One API, six capabilities:
Base URL: https://snapapi.tech
Auth: X-API-Key: $SNAPAPI_API_KEY
Free tier: 100 requests/month — get a key at https://snapapi.tech
Screenshot any URL
curl "https://snapapi.tech/v1/screenshot?url=https://example.com&format=png" \
-H "X-API-Key: $SNAPAPI_API_KEY" \
--output screenshot.png
Options: format=png|jpeg|webp, fullPage=true, darkMode=true, width=1280, height=800
Analyze a page (structured intelligence)
curl "https://snapapi.tech/v1/analyze?url=https://example.com" \
-H "X-API-Key: $SNAPAPI_API_KEY"
Returns:
{
"title": "Example Domain",
"description": "...",
"headings": [{ "level": 1, "text": "..." }],
"links": [{ "text": "More info", "href": "https://..." }],
