For Agents
Programmatically take screenshot. Covers 1 operations with apiKey authentication.
Install Jentic One Beta
Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the screenshot.fyi API, or any other public or private API you need. You set the rules, the agent never sees your credentials, and every call is logged.
Two steps, two machines. Install the instance in a safe environment, then register your agent from wherever it runs.
Step 1: Jentic One Host machine
# On the machine that will host your Jentic One instance:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | shStep 2: Agent machine
# On the machine where your agent runs (keep this separate from the instance):
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | sh
jentic register # connects your agent to your Jentic One instanceJentic One is in public beta. The setup above keeps your agent separate from the instance, which is what you want before using real credentials: an agent running as the same OS user as Jentic One can read its stored keys directly. Just evaluating? A single local install is fine to start. See the secure deployment guide for the tiers.
What an agent can do with screenshot.fyi API.
Take Screenshot
Manage developer tools data programmatically
Integrate screenshot.fyi API into automated workflows
Query and filter screenshot.fyi API records by parameters
GET STARTED
Use for: I need to take screenshot, Find available developer tools operations, Get the current status of screenshot.fyi API resources, List all records from screenshot.fyi API
Not supported: Does not handle payments, communications, or crm — use for developer tools only.
screenshot.fyi provides an API to generate screenshots of web pages with customizable options. The API exposes 1 endpoints secured with apiKey authentication.
Monitor screenshot.fyi API operational status and events
Patterns agents use screenshot.fyi API for, with concrete tasks.
★ Developer Tools Operations
Use the screenshot.fyi API to perform developer tools operations programmatically. The API provides 1 endpoints covering core functionality including take screenshot.
Call GET /api/take to take screenshot
Data Retrieval and Monitoring
Query screenshot.fyi API resources on a schedule to track changes, generate alerts, or feed downstream dashboards. Agents poll relevant endpoints, compare against previous state, and trigger actions when thresholds are crossed.
Poll the primary screenshot.fyi API endpoint, compare response to last known state, and alert if changed
AI Agent Integration via Jentic
AI agents discover and call screenshot.fyi API endpoints through Jentic without managing credentials directly. An agent searches for the required operation by intent, receives the matching endpoint schema, and executes the call with Jentic-managed authentication. This eliminates the need to read API documentation or handle apiKey tokens manually.
Search Jentic for 'take screenshot', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials
1 endpoints — screenshot.

DESCRIPTION

Take Screenshot
/api/take
Take Screenshot
Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.
Credential isolation
screenshot.fyi API apiKey credentials are stored encrypted in the Jentic vault (MAXsystem). Agents receive scoped access tokens — raw secrets never enter the agent context.
Intent-based discovery
Agents search by intent (e.g., 'take screenshot') and Jentic returns the matching screenshot.fyi API operation with its input schema, so the agent can call the right endpoint without browsing docs.
Time to first call
Direct screenshot.fyi API integration: 1-3 days for auth handling, response parsing, and error cases. Through Jentic: under 1 hour — search, load schema, execute.

Specific to using screenshot.fyi API through Jentic.
What authentication does the screenshot.fyi API use?
The screenshot.fyi API uses an API key passed in the `accessKey` query. Through Jentic, these credentials are stored encrypted in the MAXsystem vault and injected at execution time, so raw secrets never enter the agent context.
Can I take screenshot with the screenshot.fyi API?
Yes. Use the GET /api/take endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.
What are the rate limits for the screenshot.fyi API?
Rate limits are not specified in the OpenAPI spec. Check the vendor documentation for current limits. Through Jentic, rate limiting is handled automatically with retry logic built into the execution layer.
How do I take screenshot through Jentic?
Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate at https://app.jentic.com/sign-up, then search for 'take screenshot'. Jentic returns the matching screenshot.fyi API operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call — credentials are injected automatically.
How many endpoints does the screenshot.fyi API have?
The screenshot.fyi API exposes 1 endpoints covering take operations.
