In n8n, add an HTTP Request node to your workflow. GetScreenshot uses a simple GET API, making it easy to integrate with n8n's built-in HTTP node.
HTTP Request Configuration:
- Method: GET
- URL: https://api.rasterwise.com/v1/get-screenshot
- Query Parameters: apikey, url, fullpage, pdf, width, height, etc.
Configure Screenshot Parameters
Add query parameters for your screenshot settings. Use n8n expressions to dynamically set the URL from previous nodes.
URL: https://api.rasterwise.com/v1/get-screenshot
Query Parameters:
apikey: your_api_key
url: {{ $json.website_url }}
fullpage: true
width: 1280
Process the Results
The API returns a JSON response with the screenshot URL. Use subsequent n8n nodes to save to storage, send notifications, or process further.
// Response from GetScreenshot

"screenshot": "https://cdn.rasterwise.com/...",
