# Snapapi Pics SnapAPI - Screenshot & Web Data API

Professional API for website screenshots, PDF generation, video recording, content extraction, and AI-powered web analysis. The API exposes 18 endpoints secured with apiKey authentication.

## For AI agents

Programmatically ping, health check. Covers 18 operations with apiKey authentication.

## Scope

Does not handle payments, communications, or crm - use for media and content only.

## Capabilities

- Ping
- Health Check
- Detailed Health Check
- Take Screenshot
- Generate PDF
- Batch Screenshots

## Use cases

### Media and Content Operations

Use the SnapAPI - Screenshot & Web Data API to perform media operations programmatically. The API provides 18 endpoints covering core functionality including ping, health check, detailed health check.

Example prompt: Call GET `/v1/ping` to ping

### Automated Screenshot Management

Automate screenshot operations by combining multiple SnapAPI - Screenshot & Web Data API endpoints. Agents can health check and then detailed health check in a single workflow.

Example prompt: Call GET /health to health check, then verify the result

### AI Agent Integration via Jentic

AI agents discover and call SnapAPI - Screenshot & Web Data 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.

Example prompt: Search Jentic for 'ping', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

## Why Jentic

- **Setup:** Wiring SnapAPI by hand means sending its x-api-key header on every request, pointing at the api.snapapi.pics host, and polling batch jobs yourself. Through Jentic you install once, import SnapAPI from the API Directory, store the API key once, and your agent calls it.
- **Permission scoping:** SnapAPI identifies work by operation rather than a resource id in the URL path, so limit the agent to the operations it needs, such as capturing a screenshot or checking a batch job. You choose that set, so PDF and batch capture can be included while everything else stays out.
- **Credential handling:** Your SnapAPI key is stored once, encrypted, by your own Jentic One instance and injected at execution time. It never enters the agent's prompt, logs, or context.
- **Discovery method:** Agents search Jentic by intent such as 'take a screenshot of a page' or 'check a batch capture job', and Jentic returns the matching SnapAPI operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

## FAQ

### What authentication does the SnapAPI - Screenshot & Web Data API use?

The SnapAPI - Screenshot & Web Data API uses an API key passed in the `x-api-key` header. Through Jentic, these credentials are stored encrypted in your Jentic One instance and injected at execution time, so raw secrets never enter the agent context.

### Can I ping with the SnapAPI - Screenshot & Web Data API?

Yes. Use the GET `/v1/ping` endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.

### What are the rate limits for the SnapAPI - Screenshot & Web Data 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 ping through Jentic?

Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate through Jentic One, the self-hosted execution layer, then search for 'ping'. Jentic returns the matching SnapAPI - Screenshot & Web Data API operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call - credentials are injected automatically.

### How many endpoints does the SnapAPI - Screenshot & Web Data API have?

The SnapAPI - Screenshot & Web Data API exposes 18 endpoints covering screenshot, pdf, video operations.

### Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the SnapAPI - Screenshot & Web Data API?

Yes. Because you run Jentic One yourself, you decide which SnapAPI operations the agent may call and which stored API key it uses. SnapAPI identifies work by operation rather than a resource id in the URL path, so you can allow only what the agent needs, such as taking a screenshot or checking a batch job status, while PDF generation, video recording, and content extraction stay out of reach. Everything the agent cannot invoke under your rules simply is not exposed to it.
