# Screenshot through toolfare

> Any page rendered in a real browser and captured as an image — full length or a single element, with ads and cookie banners blocked, at desktop or mobile size — answered inside ChatGPT, Claude, Codex or Cursor. No screenshot-service account or key of your own: toolfare renders each capture and quotes it first.

Page: https://toolfare.ai/screenshot

## Use it from your agent

Paste this into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or any agent with a shell:

> Set up https://toolfare.ai/skill.md, then use toolfare to answer: Take a full-length screenshot of this competitor’s homepage.

Apps without a terminal connect toolfare as an MCP server: https://toolfare.ai/docs#connect

## Use it from a script

```sh
mkdir -p ~/.local/bin
curl -fsSL 'https://toolfare.ai/toolfare/toolfare.mjs' -o ~/.local/bin/toolfare
chmod +x ~/.local/bin/toolfare
export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"
export TOOLFARE_MCP_URL='https://api.toolfare.ai/mcp'
toolfare login
```

Sign in once per machine; the CLI renews the sign-in itself. On a CI runner or another server,
create an API key in the toolfare console and set it as `TOOLFARE_API_KEY` instead of signing in.
Paid calls on one sign-in or key run one at a time. `--max-cost` refuses a call quoted above
that many credits (1,000 credits = $3).

## Tools

### A picture of the page, right now

Tool: `screenshot_take`

Capture a public web page as an image or PDF

Required parameters: url

Optional parameters: block_ads, block_cookie_banners, cache, delay, device_scale_factor, format, full_page, image_quality, selector, viewport_height, viewport_width, wait_until

Cost: From $0.024

Ask:
- Take a full-length screenshot of this competitor’s homepage.
- Capture how our landing page looks on a phone.
## Price

From $0.024 Quoted before each call; the final charge follows the returned usage. Pay per call from one balance.

Balances and top-ups are in US dollars. Quotes and `--max-cost` count credits: 1,000 credits = $3 ($0.003 each).

## Use it when

- You need a picture of how a page looks right now.
- You want a competitor’s landing page or a creative reference as an image.
- You need visual proof of a page’s current state.

## Look elsewhere when

- You want the page’s text rather than its appearance. A reader is cheaper and returns something your AI can search.
- You want the page’s performance score.

## Limits

- Public pages only; a page behind a login is captured as its login screen.
- An image is a picture, not data — your AI can describe it, but cannot search its text the way it can a read page.
- Pay as you go from your toolfare balance, in US dollars; there is no subscription. A call runs when your balance covers its quote.
