Step by step

How to set it up

No custom app needed. Just configure an HTTP request.

Create a new scenario

Start a new scenario in Make and add your trigger module — this could be a webhook, a scheduled trigger, a new Google Sheets row, or any of the 1,800+ app triggers.

Add the HTTP module

Add an "HTTP → Make a request" module after your trigger. Set the method to GET.

Configure the API request

Paste the ScreenshotDEV API URL and add your parameters. Map dynamic values from previous modules using Make's variable picker.

URL: https://api.screenshotdev.com/v1/screenshot

Query parameters:
  url         = {{1.url}}
  access_key  = ak_live_your_key_here
  format      = webp
  full_page   = true
  block_ads   = true

Parse the response

Make automatically parses the JSON response. You can access fields like "url" (the screenshot CDN link), "width", "height", and "renderTimeMs" in subsequent modules.

Response (auto-parsed):
{
  "url": "https://cdn.ssdev.io/s/x7k9m2.webp",
  "width": 1280,
  "height": 2340,
  "format": "webp",
  "renderTimeMs": 640
}

Use the screenshot downstream

Connect the output to any module — save to Google Drive, post to Slack, insert into Airtable, attach to an email, or embed in a Notion page.

FAQ

Make + ScreenshotDEV — Common questions

Do I need a custom Make app to use ScreenshotDEV?

No. Use the built-in "HTTP → Make a request" module. Just paste the API URL and configure your parameters. No marketplace app needed.

Can I pass dynamic URLs from other modules?

Yes. Use Make's variable picker to map values from any previous module — trigger data, Google Sheets cells, database fields, etc.

How do I handle errors in Make?

The HTTP module supports error handling routes. Add an error handler to catch 4xx/5xx responses and route them to a notification or retry module.

Can I capture screenshots in batch?

Yes. Use Make's Iterator module to loop through a list of URLs, and the HTTP module will capture each one. Or use the /v1/batch endpoint for up to 100 URLs per request.

Does caching work with Make?

Yes. Add cache=true and cache_ttl parameters. Cached responses are faster and don't count against your monthly quota.
