Use Case

Screenshot API for Competitive Monitoring

Track competitor pricing, features, and design changes with automated screenshots. Never miss a market shift.

The Problem

Competitors change without warning

Competitor websites update constantly — new pricing, redesigned landing pages, feature announcements. Manually checking dozens of competitor pages is tedious and unreliable. By the time you notice a change, you've already lost ground.

Manually checking competitor sites is slow and error-prone
Pricing changes happen overnight with no notification
No visual history to compare design or messaging shifts
Hard to share evidence of changes across the team

The Solution

Automated visual intelligence on every competitor

Schedule screenshots of competitor pages and diff them over time. Full-page captures ensure you catch every change from header to footer.

Step 1

Set up your competitor list

Point the API at competitor pricing pages, landing pages, and feature lists.

Step 2

Schedule captures

Use a cron job or webhook to trigger screenshots daily, weekly, or on-demand.

Step 3

Compare and alert

Store screenshots and compare them visually. Pipe changes into Slack or email.

A single API call is all you need.

node.js

const competitors = [
  "https://competitor-a.com/pricing",
  "https://competitor-b.com/features",
];

for (const url of competitors) {
  const res = await fetch(
    `https://api.porto.dev/v1/screenshot?url=${encodeURIComponent(url)}&full_page=true&block_ads=true`,
    { headers: { Authorization: "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" } }
  );
  const blob = await res.blob();
  // Save to S3 with timestamp for comparison
}
