Overview

This node performs a screenshot operation within a session context. It is useful for capturing visual snapshots of web pages or applications during automated workflows, such as monitoring website changes, generating previews, or archiving content.

Use Case Examples

1. Capturing a screenshot of a webpage during a session to monitor visual changes over time.
2. Generating a thumbnail image of a web page for use in reports or dashboards.

Properties

Output

JSON

• screenshotUrl - URL or path to the captured screenshot image.
• session - The session identifier used for the screenshot operation.
• status - Status of the screenshot operation, e.g., success or failure.

Dependencies

• Requires an active session context to perform the screenshot operation.

Troubleshooting

• Ensure the session identifier is valid and active; invalid sessions will cause failures.
• If SSL errors occur, consider enabling the 'Ignore SSL Issues' option, but be aware of security risks.
• Proxy settings must be correctly configured if used; incorrect proxy URLs or credentials will cause request failures.
• Timeouts may occur if the server is slow to respond; increase the timeout setting if necessary.
