Walk Through
In this section, we will guide you through the process of getting started with Url2Image. We will cover what you need to have in place and the steps required to begin generating screenshots.
Account Creation and Token
To use Url2Image, you must be authenticated with an account. This is important for tracking your usage and providing you with the best possible experience.
User authentication in Url2Image is handled through tokens, with each user being provided a unique token for their account. This token is used to authenticate requests the generations you make.
How To Get The Token
Go To Your Account
Visit Url2Image (opens in a new tab) and login or create an account with your Google.
Go to Account Settings
Visit Account Page (opens in a new tab) and you will see a token that was generated for you.
Tokens are sensitive information and should not be shared with anyone. If you believe your token has been compromised, you can regenerate it at any time.
Using Url2Image
Url2Image can currently be used in two ways: through the JavaScript SDK or directly via the API. The SDK is a wrapper around the API that makes it easier to use in your projects and is recommended. However, for other use cases, such as using a different language than the SDK, we also offer direct API access for other programming languages.
Server Environment
Url2Image is designed to work only in server environments because of the token we provide for the service. This token must not be exposed, as it would allow other people to operate on your account.
We are working to bring the Url2Image to the client-side environment in the near future.
