Use Case

Screenshot API for Real Estate Listings

Capture property listings, virtual tours, and portal pages automatically. Screenshots for MLS integrations and real estate marketing.

The Problem

Property listings are visual — your data pipeline isn't

Real estate platforms aggregate listings from dozens of sources. Each listing looks different, has different layouts, and includes visual information (photos, maps, floor plans) that text-only scraping misses entirely.

  • Listing aggregation misses visual context like photo galleries and maps
  • Manual screenshot capture doesn't scale across thousands of listings
  • Virtual tour pages can't be archived as text
  • Inconsistent listing formats across MLS providers
The Solution

Visual capture for every listing

Automatically screenshot property listing pages to capture the full visual context — photos, maps, pricing, and layout — in a single image.

Step 1

Feed listing URLs

Pull property page URLs from your MLS feed or listing aggregator.

Step 2

Capture full pages

Full-page screenshots capture the entire listing including photo galleries and maps.

Step 3

Use in marketing

Embed screenshots in email campaigns, reports, or comparison tools.

    listing_id = url.split("/")[-1]
    with open(f"listing_{listing_id}.png", "wb") as f:
        f.write(resp.content)
