# SnapAPI Python SDK
Official Python client for [SnapAPI](https://snapapi.eu) — the EU-hosted screenshot API.
**Zero dependencies.** Uses only Python standard library (`urllib`).
## Installation
```bash
pip install snapapi
```
## Quick Start
```python
from snapapi import SnapAPI
snap = SnapAPI("your-api-key")
# Capture a screenshot
screenshot = snap.capture("https://example.com")
with open("screenshot.png", "wb") as f:
f.write(screenshot)
```
## Usage
### Basic Screenshot
```python
png = snap.capture("https://example.com")
```
### With Options
```python
jpg = snap.capture(
"https://example.com",
format="jpeg",
width=1920,
height=1080,
quality=90,
)
```
### Full-Page Capture
```python
full = snap.capture(
"https://example.com/blog",
full_page=True,
device_scale=2, # Retina
)
```
### Mobile Viewport
```python
mobile = snap.capture(
"https://example.com",
width=375,
height=812,
device_scale=2,
)
```
### Wait for Dynamic Content
```python
screenshot = snap.capture(
"https://example.com/dashboard",
wait_for_selector="#chart-loaded",
wait_until="networkidle2",
)
```
### Dark Mode Capture
```python
# Capture in dark mode (prefers-color-scheme: dark)
dark_screenshot = snap.capture(
"https://example.com",
dark_mode=True,
format="png",
)
```
### Hide Elements Before Capture
```python
# Hide cookie banners, popups, ads
clean_screenshot = snap.capture(
"https://example.com",
hide_selectors=[
".cookie-banner",
".popup-overlay",
"#advertisement",
".tracking-notice"
],
)
# Hide single element
single_hide = snap.capture(
"https://example.com",
hide_selectors=".newsletter-popup",
)
```
### Combined Dark Mode + Element Hiding
```python
# Perfect for clean marketing screenshots
marketing_shot = snap.capture(
"https://your-saas-app.com",
dark_mode=True,
hide_selectors=[".dev-banner", ".beta-notice"],
width=1920,
height=1080,
device_scale=2,
)
```
### Error Handling
```python
from snapapi import SnapAPI, SnapAPIError
snap = SnapAPI("your-api-key")
try:
screenshot = snap.capture("https://example.com")
except SnapAPIError as e:
print(f"API error {e.status}: {e.detail}")
```
