About this repository

This is not our API. This repository is an independent, third-party profile of a company's publicly available API surface, maintained by API Evangelist. API Evangelist does not operate, host, resell, or support this company's APIs, and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated on the profile.

Where the information came from. Everything here is assembled from material a member of the public can reach with a browser and no credentials — the company's own website, developer portal and documentation, the specifications it publishes for public use (OpenAPI, AsyncAPI, JSON Schema, apis.json, llms.txt and similar), its public repositories, and its public status, pricing and changelog pages. Nothing here is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials of any kind.

The rating is an independent assessment. The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated scores of a company's public API artifacts, produced by API Evangelist against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits, and they score published artifacts — not the quality, safety, or security of the software.

Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free. No partnership, contract, or purchase is required, and you do not need to justify the request.

  • Something wrong? Open an issue on this repository, or email info@apievangelist.com.
  • Published something new? Ask for a re-score and we will re-run the rating.
  • Want the listing taken down? Say so and we will honor it. The profile is reduced to your company name, a factual description, and a link to your own site, and the company is recorded as unrated — never scored zero for having asked.

Response times. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal or restriction within two business days; corrections and re-scores within five business days.

On a security or compliance team? Email info@apievangelist.com with security in the subject line and you will get a person, not a form. We will tell you exactly which public URLs this profile was built from so your team can see the same surface we did, and we will take the listing down on request while you work through it.

Full detail: Where this data comes from

Urlbox is a website screenshot and rendering API that captures pixel-perfect screenshots, PDFs, and video (MP4/WebM) of any web page or raw HTML. Renders are requested synchronously, asynchronously (with polling or webhooks), or via signed HMAC render links, with hundreds of options for full-page capture, element selectors, PDF layout, ad/cookie-banner blocking, waiting, and S3 storage.

APIs

Urlbox Synchronous Render API

POST /render/sync renders a screenshot, PDF, or video of a URL or HTML and blocks until the asset is ready, returning a temporary renderUrl plus size, renderTime, queueTime, and bandwidth metrics.

  • Video

Properties

Urlbox Asynchronous Render API

POST /render/async accepts the same render options and returns immediately with a renderId and statusUrl (201 Created); the render is processed in the background and results are retrieved by polling or via a webhook callback.

  • Queue
  • Webhooks

Properties

Urlbox Render Status API

GET /render/{renderId} polls the status of an asynchronous render, returning created, retrying, succeeded, failed, or not-found, along with the renderUrl and size once the render has succeeded.

Properties

Urlbox Render Links API

GET /{api_key}/{token}/{format} returns a render directly from a stateless, cacheable URL, where token is an HMAC-SHA256 signature of the URL-encoded options query string generated server-side with the project secret.

Tags

  • Render Links
  • HMAC
  • Signed URL

Properties

Urlbox Webhooks API

Async renders configured with a webhook_url receive a POST callback carrying render.succeeded or render.failed events with the result payload, verified via the X-Urlbox-Signature HMAC-SHA256 header.

  • Callbacks
  • Events

Properties

Urlbox Usage API

Reports renders used, allowed, and remaining for the current billing period; usage is also surfaced on every render response via x-renders-used, x-renders-allowed, and x-renders-remaining headers.
