Documentation

n8n-nodes-ottersnap

n8n community node for the OtterSnap rendering API — put website screenshots, PDFs, OG images, page extraction and page-change monitoring into your automations.

Free tier: 100 renders/month, no credit card (get a key).

Operations

Operation What it does Output
Screenshot Any URL → PNG/JPEG (full page, dark mode, iPhone/iPad/Android presets) Binary file
PDF URL → A4/Letter/Legal document with real margins Binary file
OG Image Branded 1200×630 social card from title + theme (7 themes) Binary file
Code Image Code snippet → macOS-window syntax-highlighted beauty shot Binary file

Watch: List / Delete Manage your monitors JSON

Monitoring tip: put an n8n Webhook trigger node in your workflow, paste its production URL into Watch: Create → Webhook URL, then branch on the change payload — "price dropped → send Slack alert" in two nodes.
