Support > Capture Options > Web Page Link
The Web Page Link field lets you specify exactly which URL(s) you want to capture. The link needs to be a full URL. An example of a complete URL is https://blitapp.com/.
Captures occur in web browsers running on Browshot cloud servers. The web browsers are not authenticated as your user for the web page. However, there are ways to log in to a website before taking a screenshot. If you need to fill out a login form, you can inject a JavaScript Snippet to enter the username and password, then click the login button. Feel free to contact us if you need help.
You can receive an e-mail with multiple captures in it. Choose "multiple" and enter one URL per line. The scheduled e-mail includes all images and mentions whether some URLs could not be retrieved.
All screenshots start simultaneously unless you check the option Wait for the previous URL to be captured before beginning the next one. This option is helpful with websites that may rate-limit browsers that make too many requests in a short amount of time.
You can include variables in the URL wrapped in angle brackets. At capture time, Blitapp replaces them with the current date and time in your timezone.
The variables available are:
<year>: 4-digit year, e.g., 2019
<month>: 2-digit month, e.g. 02
<day>: 2-digit day of the month, e.g., 09
<hour>: 2-digit hour of the day, 24-hour format, e.g., 15
<minute>: 2-digit minute, e.g. 01
Some site and blogs used a date in their URL. For example, to get the daily comic Popeye, the URL is https://comicskingdom.com/popeye/<year>-<month>-<day>. For every capture, the URL will be replaced by https://comicskingdom.com/popeye/2026-04-04, https://comicskingdom.com/popeye/2026-04-05, etc.
Blitapp can fetch a list of URLs from any website and capture them. We currently support the following:
The list is fetched before each capture, so it may change from one capture to the next. These feeds may contain tens, hundreds, or even thousands of URLs. You can limit how many captures are taken. If no limit is specified, Blitapp will run a capture for all URLs if you have enough screenshots left for the month.
We strongly suggest testing the external URL first. Click Test: Blitapp will fetch the external URL and extract the list of URLs. You can verify that the URL is accessible and supported by Blitapp.
The e-mail will contain all the captures taken. Failed captures will be listed too. One entry for each URL will be created in the history.
Blitapp can capture URLs listed in a Google spreadsheet and update the spreadsheet with information related to the capture: the link to the image, the status of the screenshot (SUCCESS or ERROR), and the path of the screenshot uploaded to an App.
You need to share the spreadsheet with Blitapp to give access. Share it with the e-mail address browshot-google-spreadsheets@spreadsheet-302000.iam.gserviceaccount.com. Then enter the link to the spreadsheet in the capture settings.
To check that the spreadsheet was shared correctly, click on Test Access. This will check that Blitapp can read the spreadsheet and that you specified the correct column name that contains the list of URLs to capture.
If you want Blitapp to update the spreadsheet as the capture is done, you can add these option column names:
