Install Playwright and the Playwright client for Python

pip install playwright
playwright install chromium

Take a screenshot of the element and save to file

from playwright.sync_api import sync_playwright

with sync_playwright() as p:
    browser = p.chromium.launch()
    page = browser.new_page()
    page.goto('https://www.htmltoimage.com/demo')
    page.locator('#example-card').screenshot(path='element.png')
    browser.close()

That was 8 lines of code — plus a browser to run in production

Keeping headless browsers fed, patched and scaled is a job in itself. We built Urlbox so the same screenshot is one API call: 

curl "https://api.urlbox.com/v1/YOUR_API_KEY/png?url=https://example.com"

Try the Urlbox screenshot API — free trial, no browser babysitting.
