What is zyte-screenshots?

A tool for capturing a complete visual snapshot of a public web page as a PNG image.

Use it with a public URL to save and briefly describe a full-page website screenshot through the Zyte API.

It removes the need to manually scroll through a page or assemble separate screenshots when reviewing its full layout.

zyte-screenshots — Skill for Claude Code and Codex by zytelabs

Install

Getting it into your agent

There is no command for this one: it runs only inside a plugin, and the catalogue could not identify which plugin ships it. The source is linked below.

Made for: Claude Code, Codex.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00136	$0.00901
Opus 5	$0.00068	$0.00451
Sonnet 5	$0.00027	$0.00180
Haiku 4.5	$0.00014	$0.00090

Measured 12d ago against content hash 3c285e0d31e8, method: parsed. Prices are Anthropic first-party input rates as of 2026-09-12, from the pricing page.

Security

Grade A, and why

zyte-screenshots scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Capture full-page screenshots of any public URL via the Zyte API using curl, save as a PNG file,

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 116 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Zyte Screenshots Skill

Capture full-page screenshots of any public URL via the Zyte API using curl, save as a PNG file, and briefly describe the visual content.

Prerequisites

curl installed (standard on macOS/Linux)
jq installed
base64 CLI available
ZYTE_API_KEY set in the environment

Workflow

Step 1 — Validate inputs

Confirm the user has provided a valid URL (must start with http:// or https://).
Check for ZYTE_API_KEY in the environment:
```
echo $ZYTE_API_KEY
```
If empty or unset, stop and tell the user to export it before continuing:
```
export ZYTE_API_KEY="your_api_key_here"
```

Step 2 — Derive the output filename

The filename must be the website name with https:// and .com removed. Strip exactly as follows:

Remove https:// or http://
Remove www. prefix if present
Remove .com (and anything after it)
Replace any remaining dots or slashes with underscores

Examples:

URL	Filename
`https://www.example.com`	`example.png`
`https://quotes.toscrape.com`	`quotes.toscrape.png`
`https://news.ycombinator.com`	`news.ycombinator.png`

Step 3 — Run the curl command

Run this exact command, substituting $ZYTE_API_KEY, the target URL, and the derived filename:

curl -s https://api.zyte.com/v1/extract \
  -u "$ZYTE_API_KEY": \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "url": "URL",
    "screenshot": true
  }' \
| jq -r '.screenshot' \
| base64 --decode > FILENAME.png

After running, verify the file was created and is non-empty:

[ -s "FILENAME.png" ] && echo "Success" || echo "Failed"

Common errors:

Error	Cause	Fix
`401 Unauthorized`	Wrong or missing API key	Check `ZYTE_API_KEY` value
`jq` outputs `null`	API returned an error	Print raw response to debug
Empty file	base64 received no input	Check API response

To debug, first print the raw API response:

curl -s https://api.zyte.com/v1/extract \
  -u "$ZYTE_API_KEY": \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"url": "URL", "screenshot": true}'

Files

What ships with it

3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
