How It Will Work

The scrolling screenshot API will accept the same parameters as our existing screenshot endpoint, plus new options for scroll behavior, duration, frame rate, and output format.

curl -X POST https://api.snapsharp.dev/v1/scroll-capture \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer sk_live_..." \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "url": "https://yoursite.com",
    "width": 1280,
    "height": 720,
    "format": "mp4",
    "scroll": {
      "speed": "smooth",
      "duration": 8,
      "pause_at_top": 1.5,
      "pause_at_bottom": 1.5
    },
    "fps": 30
  }' -o scroll.mp4

Output Formats

  • → MP4 (H.264) — smallest files, best quality
  • → GIF — universal compatibility, no player needed
  • → WebM (VP9) — modern browsers, great compression

Scroll Options

  • → Smooth, linear, or step-based scrolling
  • → Configurable speed and duration
  • → Pause at top/bottom for context
  • → Scroll to specific CSS selector
