# Rendershed

> Screenshots of the page. Not the cookie banner.

A screenshot API that removes consent walls, sign-in modals and paywall overlays before it captures. Most screenshot APIs succeed 93% of the time and return something usable 69% of the time — we measured it, and fixed it.

Base URL: https://shots.rendershed.com
Auth: X-API-Key header, or an HMAC-signed query string for use in <img src>.

## Primary endpoint

POST https://shots.rendershed.com/v1/render
  Body: {"url": "https://example.com"}
  Returns: image bytes (png by default)

Key parameter: overlay_mode = off | hide | dismiss (default dismiss).
"dismiss" removes consent walls, sign-in modals and paywall scrims before
capture. It never clicks "accept" on a cookie banner.

## Honest limits

A small number of pages sit behind bot protection that no browser
configuration gets past; those return an error rather than an image of a
challenge page.
