Stealth Mode Browser for Screenshots

The Stealth Mode Browser feature allows you to capture full-page screenshots in a way that minimizes detection by websites. This feature is particularly useful when dealing with websites that employ measures to detect and block automated interactions. By using Stealth Mode, you ensure that your screenshot captures are as discreet and untraceable as possible, enhancing user privacy and maintaining the integrity of your automation processes.

Why Use Stealth Mode?

Stealth Mode is crucial for use cases where the website has strong anti-bot measures. Websites may use techniques like JavaScript checks or behavioral analysis to identify and block automated screenshot requests. Stealth Mode helps bypass these detections by mimicking more human-like browser interactions. Here are a couple of scenarios where Stealth Mode is beneficial:

• Competitive Analysis: When monitoring competitors' websites without revealing that automated tools are being used.
• Compliance and Privacy: When capturing sensitive or private information where undetectability is important to comply with privacy regulations.

Default Stealth Setting

By default, Stealth Mode is not activated. To use it, you need to explicitly enable it by setting the stealth parameter to true in your request.

How to Enable Stealth Mode Browser

To activate Stealth Mode for a screenshot request, append the &stealth=true parameter to the URL query string. This instructs the system to use techniques designed to mask the automated nature of the screenshot capture.
