Automate job listing thumbnails, candidate portfolio screenshots, offer letter PDF generation, and employer brand page archiving. SnapAPI is the screenshot API built for HR technology and recruiting platform engineering teams.
Start Free TrialGenerate visual previews of job listing pages for use in candidate emails, social sharing, and job aggregator integrations. When a listing goes live, SnapAPI captures a thumbnail automatically that reflects the current state of the listing page.
Render offer letter and employment contract templates as high-quality PDFs using SnapAPI's PDF endpoint. Design your templates in HTML and CSS, inject candidate data server-side, and deliver professional offer letters without maintaining a PDF library.
Capture screenshots of candidate portfolio sites, LinkedIn profiles, and personal websites at the time of application. Store these captures with the application record so recruiters have a point-in-time view of the candidate's online presence during the hiring process.
Monitor Glassdoor, LinkedIn, and other employer review platforms for changes to your company profiles. Schedule regular screenshots to track how your employer brand is presented across platforms and identify changes that need your attention.
Recruiting platforms and HR software teams use SnapAPI to automate visual workflows that previously required manual effort from recruiters and HR administrators.
Offer letters are one of the most important documents in the hiring process. They need to look professional, reflect your brand, and be delivered quickly. SnapAPI lets you design your offer letter template as a standard HTML page with your company branding, fonts, and layout. When an offer is approved in your ATS, a webhook triggers SnapAPI to render the filled template and generate a PDF. The PDF is stored in your document management system and a signed URL is sent to the candidate automatically. The entire process takes under 10 seconds and produces a PDF that looks exactly like your HTML design.
Job listings shared on LinkedIn and Twitter perform better with a relevant preview image. SnapAPI generates OG images from your job listing pages automatically. When a recruiter shares a listing URL, the platform has a ready-made OG image that shows the job title, company logo, location, and key details at a glance. This dramatically improves click-through rates compared to generic placeholder images.
Start free with 200 captures/month. Scale to 5,000 at $19/month or 50,000 at $79/month. Enterprise plans available for large ATS platforms and job boards.
Get API Key FreeHuman resources technology has undergone a dramatic shift toward web-first experiences. Applicant tracking systems, employee onboarding platforms, performance management tools, and HR information systems all present complex, data-rich interfaces that benefit from automated visual capture. Screenshot APIs serve two broad categories of HR use cases: document generation for candidate and employee-facing deliverables, and operational automation for recruiters and HR administrators.
Enterprise recruiting teams process thousands of job applications per month. Each application involves reviewing the candidate's online presence, including their LinkedIn profile, personal website, and portfolio. Manually visiting and screenshotting these pages is impractical at high volume. SnapAPI integrates into your ATS to automatically capture candidate portfolio pages and personal sites at the time of application submission. The screenshots are stored with the application record, giving recruiters a quick visual overview of each candidate's online presence without leaving the ATS interface. When a candidate's portfolio site changes between application and offer, you still have the original state that was present at the time of evaluation.
HR teams spend significant time maintaining employee handbooks, policy documents, and procedure guides. These documents are traditionally maintained in Word or PDF format, making updates tedious and version control difficult. A better approach is to maintain these documents as web pages in your intranet or HRIS, with version control handled by your CMS, and use SnapAPI to generate PDF snapshots on demand. Employees who need a printed or downloadable copy get a PDF generated from the latest published version. HR administrators updating a policy publish the change to the web version, and the next PDF download reflects the update automatically. No manual PDF editing required, and the web version remains the authoritative source.
New employee onboarding generates a substantial volume of documentation: welcome packets, benefit enrollment summaries, equipment request confirmations, and training completion certificates. Each of these documents can be generated as a PDF from an HTML template using SnapAPI. When a new employee completes their benefits enrollment, the platform renders a summary page with their selections and passes the URL to SnapAPI to generate a PDF confirmation. The confirmation is stored in the employee's digital personnel file and emailed to the employee automatically. The same pattern applies to training completions, policy acknowledgments, and equipment assignments.
Employer brand is a significant factor in talent acquisition. Job seekers research companies extensively on Glassdoor, LinkedIn, Blind, and Indeed before accepting offers. Monitoring how your company is presented on these platforms helps your employer brand team detect and respond to negative reviews, outdated information, and competitive positioning. Schedule weekly SnapAPI captures of your company profiles on major review platforms and store them in a dated archive. This gives your employer brand team a historical view of how your reputation has evolved and provides documentation for internal reporting on employer brand initiatives.
Candidates appreciate professional, well-designed interview confirmation documents that include the interview schedule, interviewer names, location or video link, and preparation materials. Design your confirmation page template in HTML, render it through SnapAPI's PDF endpoint when an interview is scheduled, and email the PDF to the candidate automatically from your ATS. The result is a branded, professional confirmation document that reinforces a positive candidate experience without any manual design effort from your recruiting team.
Can SnapAPI generate PDFs from pages behind authentication? Yes, pass the employee or candidate session cookie in the headers parameter and SnapAPI renders the authenticated page. This is essential for generating personalized benefit summaries, offer letters with private compensation details, and other HR documents that contain sensitive individual data. How do I handle pages with dynamic content loaded after page load, such as chart visualizations in performance dashboards? Use the delay parameter to add a wait time after the page load event, or use wait_until set to networkidle to wait for all network activity to complete before capture. What file format should HR documents use for maximum compatibility? PDF is the recommended format for all HR documents intended for download or printing. SnapAPI's PDF endpoint generates standard PDF 1.4 files compatible with Adobe Reader and all major PDF viewers. For thumbnails used inside web interfaces, PNG is the best choice for quality and universal browser support. Can SnapAPI handle right-to-left languages for global HR platforms? Yes, Chromium has full RTL language support including Arabic, Hebrew, Farsi, and Urdu. Your HTML templates need to set the appropriate dir and lang attributes and use RTL-compatible CSS, but SnapAPI renders these pages correctly. Does SnapAPI comply with GDPR for HR data? SnapAPI processes only the page content you direct it to capture. For pages containing employee PII, you control where screenshots are stored. Use the S3 delivery option to keep all captures within your own infrastructure and data residency boundaries. Start with the free tier at 200 captures per month and scale as your platform grows.
