Full Page Screenshots

By default, DomShot captures only the visible viewport area. Use the fullPage parameter to capture the entire scrollable page.

​
Basic full page screenshot

bash
curl "https://api.domshot.com/shot?key=YOUR_API_KEY&url=https://example.com&fullPage=true" \
  --output fullpage.png

​
Full page with viewport preset

bash
curl "https://api.domshot.com/shot?key=YOUR_API_KEY&url=https://example.com&fullPage=true&viewportType=mobile" \
  --output fullpage-mobile.png

​
Full page with custom format

bash
curl "https://api.domshot.com/shot?key=YOUR_API_KEY&url=https://example.com&fullPage=true&format=jpeg&quality=80" \
  --output fullpage.jpg

​
Performance considerations

Full page screenshots have longer processing times and larger file sizes. Consider these factors:
  • Very long pages may exceed processing timeout
  • File size increases with page length
  • Higher quality settings multiply file size
Recommendations:
  • Use JPEG or WebP format for long pages to reduce file size
  • Set quality to 80-90 for good balance of size and clarity
  • Consider breaking very long pages into sections
