Need screenshots and OG cards from any URL: Shotium public price
AnswerYour product, automation, or agent needs reliable PNG/JPEG/WebP screenshots — or HMAC-signed OG URLs in meta tags — without babysitting a headless farm. Shotium (https://shotium.com) sells a Screenshot & OG Image API: one GET, bill only on successful delivery; when quota and credits run out you get 429, nothing auto-charges. Public /pricing: Free $0 (100 one-time render credits on signup, never expire, no card, full API); Starter $15/mo (2,000 renders, $0.0075 each); Growth $49/mo (10,000 renders, $0.0049 each); credit packs $10 / 1,000 renders (one-time, never expire). [email protected]. Pack: research pack.
What they sell
GET /v1/screenshot (viewport/full-page, png|jpeg|webp); five OG templates; HMAC-signed direct URLs safe in public HTML with ~24h Cloudflare edge cache. Docs: SSRF-hardened; failed renders not billed; successful cache hits still count as a billed render.
Developer surface: Bearer keys, /llms.txt, Copy page for LLMs, community n8n node n8n-nodes-shotium. Merchant of record on the pricing FAQ: Waffo.com Limited.
Quota and credits
Monthly quota resets on the billing-period anniversary (FAQ), not calendar month. After quota, never-expiring credit packs burn down; both empty → 429, no auto top-up.
Public beta. Cancel anytime from the account page; active through period end.

Short answers
- Will overage silently charge my card?
- Pricing + docs: exhausted quota and credits return 429 — nothing auto-charges; you choose credits or upgrade.
- Do cache hits count?
- Docs: identical params cache 24h; a successful return including cache hits bills one render. Signed-URL responses served from CDN edge cache are free and do not count.
- Who is on the invoice?
- Pricing FAQ: Waffo.com Limited is merchant of record for payment, invoicing, and tax; card details do not touch Shotium servers.
