No credit card required for the Free plan. Get 100 screenshots per month to test the API with no commitment.

Rate Limits

Rate limits are enforced per API key using a sliding window algorithm. When you exceed the limit, the API returns 429 Too Many Requests with a Retry-After header.

What counts as a request?

Each POST /v1/screenshot call counts as 1 request toward your rate limit
Cached responses (X-Cache: HIT) still count toward rate limits but do NOT count toward your monthly quota
GET /v1/usage and GET /v1/health do not count toward any limits

Best practices

Implement exponential backoff when you receive a 429 response
Use the X-Credits-Remaining header to monitor your quota in real-time
Leverage caching by using consistent parameters for repeated URLs
Use the GET /v1/usage endpoint to check your monthly usage

Overage Billing

If you exceed your monthly screenshot quota, additional screenshots are billed at:

$0.003 per screenshot (overage)

That's $3 per 1,000 extra screenshots. Overage is billed at the end of each billing period via Stripe. You can set spending alerts in your dashboard.

No surprise bills: On the Free plan, requests are simply rejected with 402 once you hit 100 screenshots. Overage billing only applies to paid plans.

FAQ

What happens when I hit my monthly limit?

On the Free plan, you get a 402 Quota Exceeded error. On paid plans, additional screenshots are charged as overage ($0.003 each).

Do cached screenshots count against my quota?

No. If the same URL + options were captured recently (within 24h), the cached result is returned for free. Check the X-Cache: HIT header.

When does my billing period reset?

Your quota resets on the same day each month as your subscription start date. Usage is tracked in UTC.

Can I upgrade or downgrade mid-cycle?

Yes. Upgrades take effect immediately with prorated billing. Downgrades take effect at the next billing cycle.

Is there a custom/enterprise plan?

Yes. If you need more than 100,000 screenshots/month, higher rate limits, or an SLA, contact us at support@getsnap.dev.
