Whether you’re creating a website or researching for a project, you need to take regular screenshots. There are many tools, both free and paid, that can help automate website screenshots. In this article, we will explore how to automatically take website screenshots on a recurring schedule using Zapier and the HTML to Image API tool.

Step 1: Get API Key

You need an API key to take website screenshots via API. Most tools require creating an account to obtain one. Let’s see how to generate the API key for using the HTML to Image API.

  1. On your browser, go to https://htmlcsstoimg.com/ and click Get Started at the top right.
  2. In the Registration screen, fill in your Full name, Email and Password and click Register button.

  2. Now, login to your account with the credentials and make a note of the API key displayed on the top left.

Step 2: Create Account on Zapier

Zapier is a powerful automation tool that connects various apps and services. It offers a free unlimited trial for 15 days. To take website screenshots, you need to connect the HTML to Image API tool to Zapier and create a Zap.

  1. Go to https://zapier.com and click Start free with email or Start free with Google.
Zapier Home Page Create Account
  1. Here, you will be prompted with a set of questions about you and the need for using the Zapier tool.
  2. Once you are done with answering all those questions, your Zapier account will be created.

Step 3: Create a Zap to Take Website Screenshots

Zap is an automation workflow on Zapier that allows you to do things automatically. For taking website screenshots, you need to create a Zap for setting a schedule to automatically take screenshots of the website. Let’s see how to do that.

  1. After logging to your Zapier account, click Create Zap on the top left.
Create Zap Screen Zapier tool
  1. You need to select a trigger app. Click the Trigger icon and select Schedule by Zapier in the pop-up screen.
Select Trigger Event for Zap Zapier
  1. Next, configure the scheduling options to trigger the Zap daily or based on your need. Here, you will see four options Every Day, Every Hour, Every Month, Every Week. Click Continue button after setting up the schedule.
  1. After setting up the screenshot schedule, select the Time of Day at which the screenshot of the website needs to be captured. Also, you can select Yes from the Trigger on weekends? drop-down box if you want to take website screenshots on weekends also.
Select Trigger Time Interval Zapier
  1. Next, for the Action app, you need to select an app that can capture website screenshots. In this example, we will be using the HTML to Image tool.
Set Action for Zap on Zapier
  1. After selecting the tool, you need to login to it (e.g. HTML to Image) to connect that with Zapier using the API key you had generated in Step 1.
Connect HTML to Img API with Zapier
  1. Then, select Capture Website Screenshot as the event.
Select Event HTML to Img API
  1. Next, you need to set up the action step with details like the URL of the website, image quality and other fields.
Configure Website URL for Zap on Zapier
  1. Finally, click the Test trigger button to enable the Zap and test whether it works correctly. If it works, it will display the path of the website screenshot that is taken automatically.
Test Trigger Option Zapier

That’s it. From now on, Zapier will automatically take daily screenshots of the specified website based on your schedule. And, you will receive a email notification after the screenshot of the website is taken.

With Zapier and HTML to Image API, you can automate taking screenshots of multiple websites and schedule them through different Zaps.
