Law firms and compliance teams must preserve web pages exactly as seen at a point‑in‑time (court exhibits, trademark disputes, harassment cases).
A tamper‑proof screenshot + hash + PDF bundle is gold for that use case.
When a dispute lands on your desk—trademark infringement, defamation, harassment, false‑advertising—you need proof that can survive cross‑examination. A simple browser “Save as PDF” won’t cut it: fonts reflow, ads change, scripts disappear. What law firms and compliance teams really need is a verifiable, read‑only capture showing the page exactly as the judge or jury would have seen it on that day. ScreenshotOne’s PDF generation API turns that manual chore into a one‑line call:
curl https://api.screenshotone.com/take \ -d url="https://example.com/" \ -d format="pdf" \ -d full_page=true \ -d access_key=<your access key>Behind the scenes, ScreenshotOne spins up an isolated browser, renders every pixel—including dynamic content—and packages the result as PDF.
Automate that in your case‑management system and you’ve got a tamper‑proof evidence set—no more frantic “did anyone grab the page before it vanished?” moments, and no awkward questions about authenticity when you introduce Exhibit A.
We needed to build a side product, fast, we signed up and within minutes we were set up and had pulled over 400 picture-perfect screenshots for use in a new directory tool we were launching.
