I built a Claude Code skill that screenshots any website (and it handles anti-bot sites too)
TLDR; Automate screenshot capture for any URL with JavaScript rendering and anti-ban protection — straight from your AI assistant. Taking a screenshot of a webpage sounds trivial, until you need to do it at scale. Modern websites throw every obstacle imaginable in your way: JavaScript-rendered content that only appears after a React bundle loads, bot-detection systems that serve blank pages to automated headless browsers, geo-blocked content, and CAPTCHAs that appear the moment traffic patterns look non-human. For a handful of URLs you can get away with Puppeteer or Playwright. For hundreds or thousands? You need infrastructure built for the job. The Zyte API was designed specifically for this problem. It handles JavaScript rendering, anti-bot fingerprinting, rotating proxies, and headless browser management so you don't have to and what better way to do it straight from your LLM supplying the URLs? Hence I created this zyte-screenshots Claude Skill, which you can use to trigger the en
