Real Use Cases

1. Claude verifies its own code

Human: Build a landing page with a hero section, testimonials, and pricing grid.

Claude: [writes HTML/CSS code]

Claude: Let me check this with the render tool...

[Claude calls ShotAPI render tool with the HTML it wrote]

Claude: The pricing grid overlaps on mobile. Fixing responsive breakpoints...

2. Deployment verification

Human: I just deployed. Check if it looks right.

Claude: [calls ShotAPI screenshot on https://yourapp.com]

Claude: Footer text is cut off — CSS overflow issue. Background image 404.

3. UI regression in CI/CD

# Capture before/after screenshots and compare
curl -s "https://aiphotoshop.mynatapp.cc/v1/screenshot?url=https://staging.myapp.com" -o before.png
curl -s "https://aiphotoshop.mynatapp.cc/v1/screenshot?url=https://staging.myapp.com" -o after.png

Description

Example

screenshot_one_liner

One URL, one screenshot

screenshot_one_liner(url="https://github.com")

screenshot

Full control: viewport, full-page, CSS selector, format

screenshot(url="https://github.com", selector="#hero")

render

Render HTML/CSS to image — Agent writes code, sees result instantly

render(html="<h1>Hello</h1>")

The render tool closes the feedback loop: write code → render → see → revise → render again.
