Website Screenshot

Setup

Read your credentials from ~/.gooseworks/credentials.json:

export GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY=$(python3 -c "import json;print(json.load(open('$HOME/.gooseworks/credentials.json'))['api_key'])")
export GOOSEWORKS_API_BASE=$(python3 -c "import json;print(json.load(open('$HOME/.gooseworks/credentials.json')).get('api_base','https://api.gooseworks.ai'))")

If ~/.gooseworks/credentials.json does not exist, tell the user to run: npx gooseworks login

All endpoints use Bearer auth: -H "Authorization: Bearer $GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY"

Capture screenshots of any website or web page. Useful for documentation, monitoring, and visual records.

When to Use

• User asks for a screenshot of a website
• User wants to see what a site looks like
• Documenting web pages
• Monitoring website changes
• Creating visual records

How It Works

Uses Notte or Brand.dev APIs to capture website screenshots.

Usage

Screenshot with Notte

# First start a session, then screenshot
curl -s -X POST $GOOSEWORKS_API_BASE/v1/proxy/orthogonal/run \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"api":"notte","path":"/sessions/start","body":{"url":"https://stripe.com"}}'
# Then take screenshot with the session_id
curl -s -X POST $GOOSEWORKS_API_BASE/v1/proxy/orthogonal/run \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"api":"notte","path":"/sessions/{session_id}/page/screenshot"}'

Screenshot with Brand.dev (simpler)

curl -s -X POST $GOOSEWORKS_API_BASE/v1/proxy/orthogonal/run \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"api":"brand-dev","path":"/v1/brand/screenshot","query":{"domain":"stripe.com"}}'

Scrape and Screenshot with Notte

curl -s -X POST $GOOSEWORKS_API_BASE/v1/proxy/orthogonal/run \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"api":"notte","path":"/scrape","body":{"url":"https://example.com"}}'

To take an explicit screenshot via Notte session:

curl -s -X POST $GOOSEWORKS_API_BASE/v1/proxy/orthogonal/run \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY" \

  -d '{"api":"notte","path":"/sessions/{session_id}/page/screenshot"}'

Examples

User: "Take a screenshot of Notion's homepage"

curl -s -X POST $GOOSEWORKS_API_BASE/v1/proxy/orthogonal/run \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"api":"brand-dev","path":"/v1/brand/screenshot","query":{"domain":"notion.so"}}'

User: "Capture what vercel.com looks like"

curl -s -X POST $GOOSEWORKS_API_BASE/v1/proxy/orthogonal/run \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"api":"brand-dev","path":"/v1/brand/screenshot","query":{"domain":"vercel.com"}}'

User: "Screenshot and scrape the content from this article"

curl -s -X POST $GOOSEWORKS_API_BASE/v1/proxy/orthogonal/run \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"api":"notte","path":"/scrape","body":{"url":"https://example.com/article"}}'

Error Handling

• 400 - Missing required parameter (domain for Brand.dev, url for Notte)
• 404 - Domain not found or page doesn't exist
• 504 - Page took too long to load — retry or try simpler URL
• Brand.dev only screenshots the homepage (pass domain, not full URL)
• Notte sessions auto-expire after idle_timeout_minutes (default 3) — take screenshots promptly

Tips

• Brand.dev is simpler for quick homepage screenshots
• Notte is more powerful for full page control
• For pages requiring login, use Notte sessions with authentication
• Screenshots are typically full-page or viewport-sized
• Some sites may block automated screenshots
