Why Capture Screenshots from Multiple Locations?

Capturing full-page screenshots from US, Europe, and Australia / Asia Pacific is crucial for understanding how your website appears and performs from different geographical locations. This capability helps ensure that your website delivers consistent and optimal experiences to users worldwide. Here are some key benefits:

• Reduce Latency: By selecting a region close to your target audience, you can minimize latency and improve load times, resulting in a better user experience.
• Access Region-Specific Content: Some websites display different content based on the user's location. Screenshots from different regions allow you to verify the accuracy of regional content.
• Optimize for Global Audiences: Ensure that your website is performing well and displaying correctly across all your target markets.
• Track Regional Trends: Monitor how your website's appearance and performance change in different regions, and track regional trends effectively.

Regions: Enterprise-Grade Screenshot Reliability

Unlike single-location screenshot services, every request runs on redundant, in-region infrastructure — see the full reliability architecture:

How Add Screenshots Outperforms Competitors

What is the Default Region for Screenshots?

If you do not specify a region, our Screenshot API will automatically select the closest region to your location or default to a US region.

Your default region is us.

Available Regions for Screenshots

Our service routes screenshots through three high-capacity regions. Use the region codes below for new integrations:

Compare the Same Website Across All Three Regions

Run the same URL and capture settings once per region, then compare localized currency, language, inventory, consent experiences, search results, or redirects. Keeping every option except region identical makes regional differences easier to review.

const regions = ["us", "eu", "au"];
const target = "https://example.com";

const captures = await Promise.all(regions.map(async (region) => {
  const endpoint = new URL("https://api.addscreenshots.com/screenshots");
  endpoint.searchParams.set("region", region);
  endpoint.searchParams.set("fullpage", "true");
  endpoint.searchParams.set("url", target);

  const response = await fetch(endpoint, {
    headers: { "x-api-key": process.env.ADD_SCREENSHOTS_API_KEY }
  });
  if (!response.ok) throw new Error(`${region} capture failed`);
  return { region, image: await response.arrayBuffer() };
}));

For recurring comparisons, save the region code in the folder or file pattern and run the requests from a schedule.

How to Capture Screenshots from a Specific Region

Select your preferred region, and our tool will capture a full-page screenshot from that location. This feature helps you analyze how your website appears to users in broad geographic markets while using the newest premium infrastructure.

For instance, searching for "rental cars" in the US may yield different results than performing the same search from Australia due to regional variations.

Here's how you can make a request to capture a screenshot from the US region using the &region=us parameter:

// Line breaks added for readability https://api.addscreenshots.com/screenshots
?apikey=YOUR_API_KEY
&region=us
&url=google.com/search?q=rental+car
