NewAPI
Capture one element of a page.
The new selector parameter captures a single element, such as a pricing table, a chart or an embedded post, instead of the whole viewport.
Add selector with a CSS selector, and the screenshot is that element alone.

- The first match is captured, at the element’s own size, even when it is taller than the viewport.
device_scale_factormultiplies both sides. - Late elements are waited for, up to
timeout_ms. - Not with
full_page. A request with both is rejected withinvalid_requestand costs nothing. - No match costs one credit. If nothing matches, or the match is hidden or empty, the request fails with
selector_not_found, because the page was still loaded.
It works on every plan, including Free.
Try it on your own pages.
