We've added support for custom proxy configurations across all Capture API endpoints.

What's New

• Configure your own proxy server in account integration settings
• Route browser requests through your configured proxy with the proxy=true parameter
• Secure credential storage with automatic authentication
• Works across all endpoints: screenshots, PDFs, HTML content, and animated captures

How to Use

1. Add your proxy configuration (server URL, username, password) in your account integration settings
2. Add proxy=true to any API request to route it through your configured proxy
3. The API automatically handles proxy authentication using your stored credentials

Technical Details

• Proxy credentials are securely stored in vault and fetched at runtime
• Each proxy request creates a dedicated browser instance configured with your proxy server
• Supports HTTP/HTTPS proxies with authentication
• Works seamlessly with other features like bot detection bypass and device emulation

Example

GET /:key/:hash/image?url=https://example.com&proxy=true

This feature is available immediately for all users. Configure your proxy settings in your account dashboard to get started.

Save time and simplify your API requests with our new Presets feature.

What's new:

• Create reusable configurations for your screenshot and PDF API requests directly from the Playground
• Save up to 50 presets with custom names, descriptions, and unique keys
• Use presets in your API calls by simply passing preset=your-key instead of repeating all options
• Manage your presets with full edit and delete capabilities from the dashboard

How it works:

1. Configure your desired options in the Playground
2. Save as a preset with a unique key (e.g., mobile-dark-mode)
3. Reference it in your API calls: ?url=example.com&preset=mobile-dark-mode

Perfect for teams with common configurations or developers managing multiple capture scenarios. Available now in your dashboard under Presets.

API credentials now have their own dedicated page, allowing for better organization and management. This separation from the main dashboard ensures that you can access and manage your credentials more efficiently, without cluttering your dashboard.

You can now retrieve your captured content as Markdown, in addition to the existing text and HTML formats.

What’s new

• Added markdown field in the Content API response.
• Perfect for workflows that store or render markdown directly (e.g., static site generators, docs, or note apps).
• Backward compatible — no breaking changes.

We've added support for all S3-compatible storage solutions! You can now specify a custom endpoint and region for your S3 integration. This means you can use Amazon S3, Cloudflare R2, DigitalOcean Spaces, MinIO, or any other S3-compatible provider — all with seamless integration and the same reliability you expect from our product.

We are excited to announce the introduction of our new MCP server, a powerful enhancement designed to improve your experience. The MCP server streamlines operations and enhances the performance of your AI agents, enabling them to work more efficiently and effectively. This integration allows for more dynamic interactions and improved data handling, ensuring that your agents can respond to queries and tasks with greater accuracy and speed.

To get started with the MCP server and explore its features, visit our dashboard at https://capture.page/dashboard/mcp.

We’ve introduced a new “Request Insights” feature to help you better understand your API usage and performance. With this dashboard, you can now view detailed analytics for your API requests from the past 7 days, including:

• Total number of requests
• Success and failure rates
• Average response times
• Error trends over time
• Breakdown by request type (image, content, metadata, animated)
• Most common errors and problem URLs

Use these insights to monitor performance, identify bottlenecks, and optimize your workflows. This feature is currently in beta—your feedback is welcome!
